nov 90 - england h 1 1
mar 91 england a 1 1
oct 91 poland a 3 3
nov 91 turkey a 3 1

i cant recall Poland at home
im sure we played morocco in dalymount in september 1990 and drew 0 0 - Dennis Irwin played

Poland at home was a scoreless draw in May 91 - that’s the game that @Sidney was saying he missed.

ok - so turkey 5 0 that david o leary scored in was october 1990 im guesing

Correct. Pouring wet day. Aldridge got a hat-trick, O’Leary and Quinn were the other scorers. It was in September or October alright.

Yes : first game back hone after WC . Dampish October day . Sepp pointek managed the Turks . 2nd international game I attended . O Leary got 1st goal

yes they were the days when Turkey were cannon fodder
Than Galatasary and Hakan Sukur arrived in the champions league in 1993 and Fatih Therim took over the national team in the same year - they werent mugs anymore then

The bull of the bosphorous is now a fugitive of sorts in US from the erdogan government .

Bray Wanderers played Trabzonspor in the 1990 CWC too .

Yeah, for a huge football-mad country they’ve seriously underachieved. Like you said, they were cannon fodder for most of their existence. Euro 96 was the first tournament they qualified for. Bar the 2002 WC they’ve been solid but largely unspectacular.

I thought they would push on the and be a real force but they have regressed.

Euro 2008? Lost a semi final to the Germans in injury time despite being decimated with injuries.

I could be wrong but, off the top of my head, did they miss out in qualifying for most tournaments between WC 02 and Euro 2016?

Forgot about that one. Was that their only tournament between 02-16?

that croatia turkey QF was incredible in Vienna
the drama of the spotters and the emotion from Bilic and the crowd
unreal

yes and this

Think they only had something like 14 available outfield players for the Germany match due to injury and suspensions
