I believe it was. I believe it was also Phil Babb's debut for us, even if it didnt count

. Was at that game and remember looking around at a few puzzled faces when his name was read out by the announcer.

Apart from cometh the hour cometh the man, McLoughlin did look up, picked his spot and stroked the ball purposefully in the one direction through a crowded box.

So Paul McGrath takes Group G, but we have a tie for second place between Brady and Houghton. I'll use my Chairman vote - much an all as the Houghton goal is a real acrobatic header in a vital play-off, I think Brady's goal stands out for beating Brazil at their own game, so I'll put Brady through as runner-up.

Group H is still open, and I'll throw up Group I now -

1) Matt Holland A v Estonia, 2001
2) Jason McAteer H v Holland, 2001
3) Gary Waddock H v Italy, 1985
4) Ian Harte A v Liechtenstein, 1996
5) Tony Cascarino H v USA, 1992

Videos on the way...
