For the match in September 1949, Peter Farrell told me how he cleaned up in the Everton dressing room with bets on Ireland winning and him scoring!! lol His non Irish Everton teammates didn't give the Irish a chance. For some reason Eggo was not selected (no subs back then). The team was:
Godwin
Carey (c) Aherne B.
Walsh Martin Moroney Peter Corr
Farrell D. Walsh Desmond O'Connor
Incidentally, many football aficionados still incorrectly say Hungary in 1956 was the first foreign team to beat England on English soil.

I don't think so, and it is not a Vauxhall Firenze either.
The badge is similar to the Ford Mustang except for the circle, but it is not a Mustang. It looks American but I just can't figure what it is.

Another trivia.....Peter Corr also played for the blues and is famous now for genetic crimes against music. He's the uncle of "The Corrs".
I think its an opel version of the vauxhall VX/490 or Ventura

Is it a vauxhall viva?The closest I can find is a Pontiac Firebird but those that had headlights incorporated with the grille tended to be twin heads, and the badge is very different.
Hopefully some other petrol head will put me out of my misery!!

A portrait of Bobby Collins during his days playing inside-left for Everton FC
Dubbed ‘The Little General’ and ‘Pocket Napoleon’, 5ft 3in Bobby Collins possessed a steeliness that belied his diminutive stature.
A biography of Collins describes him as ‘Scotland’s Mighty Atom’ and his combination of skill and aggression made the inside forward a firm favourite with Evertonians.
Collins’ £24,000 signing from Celtic in 1958 – made at a time when Everton were managerless after the sacking of Ian Buchan – was front page news on Merseyside.
The Glaswegian could have been a Blues player 11 years earlier but arriving at Goodison as a 16-year-old junior player he left a few weeks later due to homesickness and the angry Blues complained to the Scottish FA who punished him with a six-week ban.
Collins netted 48 times in 147 appearances for Everton but Harry Catterick risked the wrath of his own supporters by letting the 31-year-old go to Leeds United for £30,000 in March 1962.
The Blues went on to be crowned League Champions little more than a year later but at Elland Road, Collins helped transform Don Revie’s side from Second Division strugglers into an established top flight outfit.
Though not bitter about his Everton exit, Collins showed there was no love lost on subsequent returns to his old stamping ground and he was involved in the ‘Battle of Goodison’ in 1964 when the referee took both sets of players off the pitch for a ‘cooling-off period.’
Still turning out for Scotland, Collins was named Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year in 1965, a season in which Leeds finished runners-up in both the League and FA Cup.
