Where are they now?
PACKIE BONNER
The Donegal native is still heavily involved with football and is now a technical adviser to UEFA on goalkeeping.
The 59-year-old has also worked as a football commentator throughout the years too.
CHRIS MORRIS
The former defender returned to his native Cornwall in England to work for his family pastry business, ‘Morris Cornish Pasties’ which he later sold following the economic crash.
He is still heavily involved in football and works as a coaching development officer for the FA in his native Cornwall.
STEVE STAUNTON
Despite being one of the best full-backs of his generation, Staunton is sadly known more nowadays for his unsuccessful role as Ireland Manager in 2006 and 2007 after replacing Brian Kerr.
Staunton, who also played for Liverpool, Coventry City and Aston Villa, was declared bankrupt in the UK in 2016.
More recently he has been focusing on his charity work and the Stephen Staunton Foundation which raises funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Our Lady’s Hospital in Dublin.
MICK MCCARTHY
McCarthy has remained heavily involved in football and has carved a career as a successful manager.
The former defender has gone on to manage Sunderland and Wolves, helping them to both get promoted to the Premier League.
However, he is probably best known for his job as the Ireland gaffer.
He managed the team from 1996 to 2002 and from 2018 to 2020. Stephen Kenny took over the role from him last month.
KEVIN MORAN
Following his retirement from the game in 1994, Moran helped to set-up Proactive Sports Management with Wayne Rooney’s former agent Paul Stretford.
The former defender still works as a football analyst on TV.
PAUL MCGRATH
The 60-year-old, who inspired the iconic chant ‘Ooh, aah, Paul McGrath’, is regarded by most as the best Irish defender of all time.
It hasn’t always been easy for McGrath and he has had some well documented battles with addictions since retiring from football which he divulged in his autobiography ‘Back from the Brink’.
Now based in Co Wexford, he spends a lot of his time nowadays working with charities including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Ireland.
RAY HOUGHTON
The former midfielder has remained heavily involved with the beautiful game over the years and has also worked as an ambassador with the FAI.
The Glasgow native now spends most of his time on the TV as football commentator.
NIALL QUINN
At just 21 at the time, Quinn made a cameo appearance against England but was subbed for the rest of the tournament.
However he went on to be a big part of the Irish World Cup teams in 1994 and 2002.
He has retained a high profile in football, as chairman of Sunderland for a period, and has had a successful career as a pundit for Sky Sports.
Most recently he was appointed the FAI’s interim deputy chief executive.
JOHN ALDRIDGE
It was Aldridge’s goal against Malta which won Ireland a place at Italia ’90 to begin with.
Like many of his former Irish team mates, Aldridge went on to have a very successful career as a football pundit.
The former centre forward now works in local radio in his native Liverpool as well as doing commentary for Liverpool TV.
ANDY TOWNSEND
Since retiring from playing in 2000, the 56-year-old has become a familiar face as a football commentator.
The former midfielder has also presented BBC Radio 5 Live and written columns for national newspapers.
KEVIN SHEEDY
Perhaps best known for scoring against England and netting the first of Ireland’s penalties against Romania, Sheedy went on to work as an academy coach at Everton.
Off the field, the 60-year-old former midfielder was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2012 but successfully fought the illness and recovered to full health.
