Gerald Unsworth
Everton defender David Unsworth caught the eye of
Terry Venables in Everton’s FA Cup winning run of 1994/95.
For the Umbro Cup that was to take place in the
summer of 1995, Unsworth was called up as a replacement after Tony Adams had to
withdraw because of injury.
His only cap was in the very first match on June
3rd, 1995 vs. Japan (2-1 win).
He was never called up again.

Pascal Baills
French
defender Pascal Baills was a teammate of Laurent Blanc at Montpellier. His
solid performances allowed Montpellier to reach the quarterfinals of the Cup
Winners Cup in 1990/91 where they were eliminated by Manchester United.
He
earned his only cap a few weeks after this elimination when he came on as a
substitute for Pascal Vahirua in the 56th minute of France’s EC
Qualifier vs. Albania at Paris (March 30, 1991, France 5-Albania 0).
His
total International career amounted to 34 minutes. He was never called up again
as a big move to Olympique Marseille in the offseason did not increase his
chances, since he was unable to break into such a competitive squad full of
Internationals.

only once in a Friendly vs. France in Naples on February 16, 1994 (1-0 France
win).
