Norman Whiteside is the youngest footballer to play in the World Cup

With Monday marking the 25th anniversary of the famous win, the BBC News website takes a look at where those green giant killers, who before somebody e-mails in we know wore white on the night, are now.

Anyone keeping even an occasional eye on the world of football will know that the captain on the night, Martin O'Neill, is currently the manager of Aston Villa, having previously held the same post at Celtic.

He also is considered to be one of the UK's top pundits on the game.

Similarly, Gerry Armstrong, who scored that all-important goal in Valencia is a high-profile commentator on the beautiful game, specialising in Spanish football.

His credentials for this job include a spell at RCD Mallorca.

Norman Whiteside, who broke Pele's record as the youngest player to appear in a World Cup when he debuted for Northern Ireland aged 17 years and 41 days at Espana 82, is now a Manchester-based podiatrist.

Whiteside of course played for Manchester before and after this particular World Cup, amassing 273 appearances and 66 goals, before his career was ended prematurely by an injury, aged just 26.

He still proudly holds the record of being the youngest footballer to play in a World Cup.

Defender John McClelland now works as a tour guide at Elland Road, having played for Leeds United towards the end of his football career, which also included stints at Rangers and Watford.

Charity work

Goalkeeper and bone fide Northern Ireland football legend Pat Jennings continues his charity work in addition to coaching the goalkeeping stars of today and tomorrow at Spurs.

Sammy McIlroy recently led Conference side Morecambe to the the 2007 play-off final and promotion to the football league for the first time in their 87-year history. He has also managed Northern Ireland.

Billy Hamilton was still, albeit indirectly, involved in the world of sport up until quite recently.

He made his living running a sports trophy business in Bangor, County Down.

However, he has just moved to Canada, having sold the shop to fellow former Northern Ireland international Alan McDonald.

Jimmy Nicholl is assistant manager at Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen, while Mal Donaghy who was red carded in the 62nd minute against Spain on 25 June 1982, is a coach at the Irish Football Association.

In 1998, Chris Nicholl was invited to work alongside Lawrie McMenemy as assistant manager of Northern Ireland - a post he held for the next two years.

He is now enjoying retirement, and according to Gerry Armstrong, "playing plenty of golf and tennis".

David McCreery, who started his football career at Manchester United as a teenager, runs a welding business in Consett, County Durham.

Subs on the night were Sammy Nelson and Tommy Cassidy.

Nelson is an insurance broker in London and Cassidy works for a sportswear and equipment company based in Hartlepool.

Most of the players and manager Billy Bingham, who is now 75, are expected to attend a special anniversary party marking 'that night in Spain' exactly 25 years later, being held at Newforge Country Club in south Belfast on Monday night.

In addition to actually watching the legendary match, an NI football insider said "there might be the odd jug of sangria floating about too".
