Yes, this is what I had in mind! Dan Burn with a performance for the ages off the bench. Many international careers will be longer, but sometimes it’s about the moments you create during your time in the jersey! #danburn

#MEXENG With all the crosses into the box that Mexico are putting in, this could be a game for Big Dan Burn. Otherwise, Raul Jimenez looks like he will score with his head

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@henrywinter This is why Burn was picked in the squad Tuchel trusted him for scenarios like that. He was magnificent when he came on. Blocks and headers and putting his body on the line

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@MiguelDelaney Incredible performance by England. Burn was brilliant when he came on!

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@DanMulhall Yes, I agree. This side is particularly unimpressive

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@JohnEgan937064 And Barry Bannan as well, another super player jettisoned fairly early

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@JohnEgan937064 Always wondered why Tom Cairney only won 2 caps for Scotland! A lovely, composed player …

@yakobper90 I play with some good local ballers, and one day Joel Coustrain (ex-Sheffield United, Shamrock Rovers) turned up and made us all look like waxworks. It’s only when you see a pro up close that you appreciate their touch, vision, execution, fitness etc

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@Hero_Dean @England Jason Steele?

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@SuperbFootyPics Greaves, manager Bill Nicholson (with tie) and presumably Nicholson’s assistant, Eddie Baily

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@FootballInT80s I love those Scottish shorts!!

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@ExtremeFootbal4 Is that Paul McGee?

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@LansdowneRD_IE As regards being the strongest squad Ireland ever assembled, it’s very similar to the World Cup 1990 squad. 3 of these players drop out (Anderson, O’Brien and Galvin) and 5 came in (Staunton, O’Leary, Townsend, McLoughlin and Slaven) …

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@philmcd1882 @HLTCO Yannick Stopyra of France (Mexico 1986)?

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@Mexico86HQ And he got a brilliant goal v England in a Euro 84 qualifier

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@brazilegend10 @ScotlandNT @scottishkits2 @BeerhuntersTA Why was Steve Nicol not starting? He was probably the best full back in Britain at the time!

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@lapulgafreak Robbie Keane scored two excellent goals on his professional debut at just 17 for Wolves away at Norwich in 1997

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@retrofootballnw What an impact to make on his professional debut. Two excellent goals, one with either foot!

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@1968Tv Woods really might have permanently displaced Shilton around this time. He was in the middle of setting a world record for minutes without conceding a goal at club level during this season as well

[Leonard Durac @LeonardDurac]

@ek_rugby His mum is from Limerick as well!
