Northern Ireland v Germany, Thurs 5th October

Jonny Evans hopes there's room for another iconic Belfast night on his Northern Ireland CV.

The cultured West Bromwich Albion defender made his debut as a teenager in a famous 3-2 win over Spain in a never to be forgotten European qualifier in 2006. At only 18 years of age Evans - who had yet to play for Manchester United - watched on

as David Healy scored a hat-trick destined for Northern Ireland football folklore. More than a decade later the 29-year- old hopes to ensure tonight's World Cup showdown with Germany evokes similar misty eyed memories in future years.
