Match Report

|
Lee Dixon's first goal for England in
the ninth minute of this European championship return match was cancelled
out eighteen minutes later by Niall Quinn. Manchester United's exciting
young prospect Lee Sharpe was introduced to international football at the
start of the second-half, but England were lamentable in front of goal
against Irish defenders who took no prisoners. Bryan Robson was called up
for the first time by Graham Taylor, but he could not galvanise England
into winning action. It was Robson's eighty-ninth cap. Injuries robbed him
of at least another twenty caps.
