It looks as if it was James McCann of Shamrock Rovers in the 1958 European Championships during the second match against Manchester United when they lost 3:2 at Old Trafford. They had previously been defeated 0:6 in Dalymount Park. \n\nThe FAI quote Shamrock Rovers as being the first team in a European Championship.

Bolton Wanderers 2 West Ham United 0 (FACF)\nWembley's first event was the FA Cup Final of 1923 and that April day was marked by some unprecedented scenes. Before the match a huge crowd outside the stadium rushed the gates, burst through the barriers and swarmed onto the field of play. More than 200,000 people attempted to squeeze into a ground that had been built to accommodate 125,000.\n\nIt took forty-five minutes after the time fixed for the kick-off for mounted police to clear the pitch, with PC George Scorey and his white horse "Billy" particularly visible. The first Wembley goal came only a couple of minutes after the delayed start, and David Jack, Bolton's inside-right, was the scorer. Eight minutes into the second period Bolton scored another, clinching goal. John Smith took a pass from Vizard on the left and sent in a half-volley. The ball hit the back of a net pulled tight by the crowd behind it and rebounded back into play.\n\n\nSo the answer is David Jack of Bolton Wanderers

Why are people saying that it was only formed 8 years ago ? Unless I'm very much mistaken the first season of the Premiership was the 1992/93 season which would be 13 years ago. \nIn answer to the question, only one player has played for most of the premiership years at a sustained world class level, week in , week out and that's Roy Keane. Thierry Henry may be a fantastic footballer but too often he goes missing in matches. For 38 games a season, 90 minutes a game, Roy Keane was the man

three goals in four minutes. In regular play that is; not penalties.\n\n\nThe name Willie Hall is not readily recognised by even the most stat mad soccer fan - but Willie holds a scoring record that has endured since 1938!\n\nSigned by the London club Tottenham Hotspur from Notts County in 1932 for a fee of $4500, Hall was selected ten times for the England National Team between 1933 and 1939.\n\nOn 16 November 1938,at Manchester United's Old Trafford ground, England played Northern Ireland in a British Home Championship match.\n\nEngland went 1-0 up in eight minutes through a Tommy Lawton header before Hall wreaked havoc in the NI defense and entered the record books scoring three goals in four minutes!\n\nNot content with his 36, 38 and 40th. minute first half goals - Willie scored twice more in the second half to notch up five of England's seven goals.(England 7-0 Northern Ireland).\n\nAn England international scoring record (most goals by a single player in a match) only equalled by two other players - Steve Bloomer in 1896 and Malcolm MacDonald in 1975.\n\nHall scored 4 other goals in his ten match England career (9 goals in ten matches) and scored 27 goals in 205 appearances for Tottenham.

Is this a riddle or what? We don't need hints, we already know that Northern Ireland beat Spain 1-0 with Gerry Armstrong scoring the only goal. \nNorman Whiteside who played for them became the youngest player to appear in the Finals.\n\nIncidentally, Armstrong is now a co-commentator who usually does Spanish football.
