I think it was Denmark (back in our WC94 group).

(iirc Northern Ireland was a Euro Game)

Yeah, 31 March 1993 in Copenhagen.

Heard it the other day on the Guardian podcast, well the year, so looked it up there & that's what checks out

since i have the links open, who scored scored for Denmark & how many WC qualifiers are Spain now unbeaten?

Do you never hear them mentioning it? Especially the week Dave Farrar was filling in for AC Jimbo, they were on about the Shakhtar-Dortmund game being one for the football hipsters when Real-Man U was on that night too

In 1985 a Danish international player managed a unique feat. In 1987 a Welsh international repeated the feat (coincidentally while playing for the same club).

What was the feat (bonus if you can name either/both of the players)?

Al Capwned

No idea what it was, but I'll guess John Sivebaek and Mark Hughes.... :pac:

roanoke

I won't confirm/deny either of the players until someone gets the feat first.

Hint : It's very unlikely this feat could ever be repeated in the current/modern era (although I can't be 100% sure on that).

Beasty

Sivebaek didn't start playing for United until '86. Jesper Olsen was around at that time though, but Sparky had moved to Barca by 87, so it's not a United connection (but could be a Barca one)

Could be Clayton Blackmore and Jesper Olsen then. :pac:
Not a clue... I'm out.

Jarrod

Could be Jan Molby and Ian Rush, I've no idea what the feat is though.

Hint : The Dane played in Dublin on the day of his '85 instance of this feat.

That statement is correct. But can you now go the distance, as they say, to guess what the feat is?

well the Denmark game was Eoin Hand's last and the next game was v Wales which was Charlton's first but that was 1986 not 1987

Pretty sure I know the answer after a little research, it was wrecking my head. But I won't post it, would be unfair on the rest of you guys.
