Actually Ireland was the first team to beat England at home. September 1949. 2-0 at Goodison Park.

Doesn’t quite fit the narrative that they could only be beaten by the exotic Mighty Magyars though.

Just an observation/story. I attended Bulgaria v Ireland in Sofia in maybe 2006. I’m Irish. We loved Sofia and found people very welcoming. In fact I stayed there for a week and had a great time.

On the night of the game we were told to take a specific route to the stadium and escorted by police as the fans of the two Sofia clubs were basically beating the shit out of each other at the other side of the stadium. Then they stopped fighting and there was no trouble at the game.
