Ireland captain Con Martin on the ball during the 1950 British Home Championship
Football - 1950 British Home Championship - Wales 0 IFA Ireland XI 0
Irelands Con Martin on the ball at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham.
The game was the last time the Belfast-based IFA fielded an all-Ireland team. Martin was one of the four players fielded that day who were born in what is now the Republic of Ireland and had played for the Dublin-based FAI XI in their 1950 World Cup qualifiers. Since this game was also a qualifier for the 1950 FIFA World Cup, the situation led to controversy.
FIFA intervened, after complaints from the FAI, and subsequently restricted players eligibility based on the political border
