Spanish Silver Marked Dish Engraved Espana – Irianda Madrid 1-VI 1952

Spanish Silver Marked Dish Engraved Espana – Irianda Madrid 1-VI 1952: Ornate Fretted edged Dish mounted in a Wooden desk stand (40g) Note: 1 June 1952. Spain 6-0 Ireland. After conceding six goals against Austria, the Irish selectors awarded a debut cap to Everton goalkeeper Jimmy O’Neill. Despite repeating the feat with another 6-0 loss at the Estadio Chamart&iacuten in Madrid, the goals weren’t O’Neill’s fault. In fact, Ireland were two down before O’Neill had a chance to even touch the ball, other than picking it out of the net. Gerardo Coque and Agust&iacuten Ga&iacutenza (Piru) had Spain two-up after ten minutes, with C&eacutesar Rodr&iacuteguez &Aacutelvarez adding a third three minutes later. Estanislau Basora scored in both halves, and Jos&eacute Luis Panizo also got on the scoresheet to make it 6-0 to Spain. Irish captain Peter Farrell had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half, but Ireland were never in the races. Despite the 6-0 scoreline, goalkeeper O’Neill went on to play 16 more times for Ireland.
