For this interview, I look back at the history of the Republic
of Ireland National Team players who made a solitary appearance for the
National Team in the 1990s.
The Interviewee is:
Irish Freelance writer, Historian and Broadcaster Mr. John
O’Carroll
The
aim is to look upon the reason, background and circumstances why a certain player
was selected for a match but never again.
Soccernostalgia Question: Mike Milligan of Oldham
Athletic made a second half appearance (coming in the 62nd minute for Dennis
Irwin) in a friendly vs. USA on April 29th, 1992 at Dublin (4-1 win). What can
you tell of the background to his selection?
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: Coming through
the ranks at Oldham Athletic, Mike Milligan would also spend time at Everton,
Norwich City, and Blackpool over the course of his career. He subsequently
spent a few seasons in the Premier League, with his sole international cap
coming in this game in 1992. Manchester-born Milligan came to prominence when,
along with Denis Irwin, he helped Oldham reach the League Cup final and FA Cup
semi-finals as a second-tier club in 1990.
Milligan played in the 4-1 win for Ireland’s B
team over their English counterparts in March 1990 but it was his midfield
partner in that B international, Alan McLoughlin who was the bolter for the
World Cup squad. Like Irwin, Milligan left Boundary Park that summer but, while
the full-back thrived at Manchester United, Milligan struggled at Everton. He
returned to Oldham after they won promotion and he also played top flight for
Norwich.

Soccernostalgia Question: Two years later, on April 20th, 1994, Owen Coyle of
Bolton Wanderers, similarly would make a second half appearance (coming in the
85th minute for Tommy Coyne) in a friendly vs. the Netherlands at Tilburg (0-1
win). He was Jackie Charlton’s last only cap. What can you say about him?
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: Owen Coyle is
probably more remembered for his managerial exploits than playing ones by many
in Ireland. In saying that, the former Burnley and Bolton manager would win one
cap for Ireland back in 1994. The Scot admitted he was not good enough to play
for the country of his birth and threw his lot in with Ireland instead. For
years people had been clamouring for Owen Coyle - a prolific goalscorer in
Scotland and with Bolton at this time - to get a game and he got a cap coming
on against the Oranje for the final seven minutes in a friendly that Ireland
won prior to the 1994 World Cup. At that stage there was possibly one place as
a striker in the squad still up for grabs. He didn't impress Charlton and was
never picked again.

Soccernostalgia Question: After almost a year in charge, Mick McCarthy tried
out Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper Keith Branagan for a friendly vs. Wales at
cardiff on February 11, 1997 (scoreless tie). Despite earning a clean sheet, he
was not selected again. What can you tell about his selection?
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: Keith Branagan probably would have earned quite a few more Ireland caps in most other eras. He made over 200 league appearances for Bolton over an eight year period in the 90s, including in a League Cup final and two campaigns as first choice in the Premier League. Unfortunately, competition from the likes of Shay Given, Dean Kiely, and Alan Kelly meant that he was unable to add to his solitary international appearance. It was a remarkable turn of events for the Londoner who had been sold by Mick McCarthy, when he was Millwall boss, for just £10,000, to Bolton Wanderers in 1992. He helped Bolton win top-flight promotion, where he had two seasons, and also played in the 1995 League Cup final, losing to Liverpool. But there were no further caps with Given or Kelly featuring in all games over the next two years and Dean Kiely also emerging. Incidentally, the 1997 game v Wales was also Paul McGrath's final international appearance.

Soccernostalgia Question: Ireland’s last one-cap wonder of the decade was
Michael Evans of Southampton. He made a second half appearance (coming in the
85th minute for Tony Cascarino) in a World Cup Qualifier vs. Romania at Dublin
on October 11th, 1997, (1-1 tie). What was the background to his selection?
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: Coming through
the ranks at Plymouth Argyle, Evans did well in the lower leagues with the
club, helping them to earn promotion from Third Division in 1996. That helped
to convince Graeme Souness to fork out £650,000 to bring him to Southampton
nine months later, scoring four goals for the club as they avoided relegation
from the Premier League. His only Ireland cap came a few months later, playing
five minutes off the bench in a qualifier against Romania. Somebody discovered
that he was eligible for Ireland and told Mick McCarthy. It was to be Evans'
first and only cap at international level. He had fallen out of favour at
Southampton a mere few months after keeping them up in the top flight. Evans
would go on to sign with West Bromwich Albion a few days after his international
exposure, where he would end up spending three seasons. Although this game v
Romania was a qualifier, it was to all intents a dead rubber as Romania had
already topped the group and Ireland were sure of finishing second in the group
prior to this game.

Soccernostalgia Question: What is the common thread between these players and
what differentiates them in terms of circumstances for their lone appearance?
(If different from the circumstances from the 80s response)
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: One common
denominator is that all of these players were late developers at international
level. Mike Milligan was there at a time when Ireland had several quality
midfield players so unless he performed unbelievably well he was going to have
little chance of establishing himself in the team. Owen Coyle had scored a lot
of goals in the Scottish league up to this time and at this time Bolton - a
second tier club - were having some good domestic cup runs so it was natural
that Jack Charlton would give him a game to assess his capabilities at
international level. Keith Branagan was tried out as he was playing regularly
in the Premier League at this time and Mickey Evans had made an impact at
Southampton in the preceding months. Of course, a good club player does not
always make a good international player and it became evident that these
players were still a little short of international standard. Today of course
they would be welcomed with open arms into the international setup but in the
1990s Ireland had a greater selection of quality players than they have at
present. Of the four players featured in this study, only Keith Branagan
actually started a game and played the full 90 minutes.
Soccernostalgia Question: Given that Mick McCarthy started managing in a
rebuilding phase, one would have thought there would be more one-cap players.
Was he also limited in the number of International level players he could chose
from?
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: Mick McCarthy introduced
a number of new players into the Ireland setup in his first couple of years in
charge. The other players he introduced would have received a few caps but all
of these caps would have been awarded in one calendar year, e.g. Jon Goodman of
Wimbledon received four caps - all in 1997. Ireland was going through a
somewhat transitional phase from 1996 until 1998 as the core team of the
Charlton era was breaking up and new emerging talent was being introduced.
Also, post Euro 1996 English born players weren't declaring for Ireland in the
same numbers as they had been prior to this so this naturally meant McCarthy
had fewer players to choose from. Of course the increasing influx of players
from all over the world into the Premier League meant that young Irish players
now had a lesser chance of breaking through and making an impact in the way
Irish players had done in the preceding decades. The likes of Damien Duff and
Robbie Keane were still too young for senior international soccer at this time.
Soccernostalgia Question: The decade of the 1990s was split between Jackie
Charlton and Mick McCarthy. was there a difference in their approach to select
new players that may have contributed to such a low number of one-caps in the
decade?
Mr. John O’Carroll Response: Jack Charlton
tended to be loyal to many of the old guard of players. Even in friendly games
he tended to name strong teams. Mick McCarthy inherited a rebuilding of the
Irish team so he had to cast the net wide for players. As I said, several
players would have been capped more than once but in saying that didn't have
long international careers. In addition, Mick was trying to evolve the Irish
system of play where in addition to the long ball tactics room would be allowed
for creative talented players to give the team a plan B if one were needed.
Towards the end of the Charlton era it became obvious that Ireland did not have
a plan B if plan A failed and by the time Mick took over many teams had
successfully learned to cope with Charlton's style of play - meaning results
were not as good as had been previously. So Mick saw the need to rebuild and
also do this by allowing expansive players the freedom to develop and be
creative.
1- It
was reported that in December 1987, Watford approached Crystal Palace to sign
Ian Wright. But the deal fell through as Palace’s asking price was too high for
Watford.

2- In the summer of 1996, French striker
Jean-Pierre Papin wanted to rejoin his former side Olympique Marseille.
However, according to the player OM Manager Gerard Gili was against his return.
Papin instead joined Bordeaux for the 1996/97 season.

3- Right after the 1990 World Cup, Cameroon
forward Roger Milla was approached by English side Walsall. However, the player
refused the offer.

4- In December 1988, it was reported that
Real Zaragoza
tried to get on loan, the Brazilian Mirandhina of Newcastle United. They were
trying to get a replacement for their injured Bulgarian Nasko Sirakov.

5- In the summer of 1994, Olympique
Marseille’s French defender Basile Boli was set to join Lazio. However, Lazio Manager
Zdenek Zeman opted to sign Argentine defender Jose Chamot from his previous
club Foggia. Boli joined Rangers Glasgow instead.

Note:
1-Alex Ferguson did not take Alan Hansen,
David Speedie and Maurice Johnston. Many felt Johnston was cut for disciplinary
reasons.
2-Alex Ferguson initially
excluded Archibald from his squad, but recalled him after Kenny Dalglish opted
out due to injury. There are doubts whether Dalglish was really injured or
decided to withdraw due to Hansen being excluded.
3-The squad was together for
three weeks. This was Scotland’s longest ever preparation. The squad stayed 2
weeks in Santa Fe, a few days in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, they played a
friendly against L.A. Heat and won (3-0).
4-Graeme Souness was to join
Rangers Glasgow for the following season.
