How do you know ? ~ Did they turn down offers to play for England ?
yes as for good old Tony Galvin it is in archives that he was mocked several times for being irish with teammates from ENGLAND
Galvin.. there's a blast from the past. Great player on his day. He was also the intellectual in the squad at that time with a degree in Russian, I think.. at least that's what the match programme used to say
Yep - that great story that he was listening in on the tactical info from the USSR bench at Euro 88 and translating everything back for us
good old Tony Galvin was so good that Jack waited until late in 1990
Tony Galvin did use his education after football ~ ~ He is now a, Quality Manager for the Learning and Skills Council, ( In London I presume )
Galvin. Waddock was replaced by The late McLaughlin
Galvin didn't attend 1990 because of injuries. He was touch and go if i recall correctly. He may have been invited as a guest i suppose, just dont remember or hadnt read it since.
Waddock was definitely asked to stay with the squad as a guest when JC brought in Alan McLoughlin but turned it down.
Actually just watched it back and he had nothing to do with the goal. He did come on against the Brits though and I think did ok
