As gooner said 'There was a guy who played in America', Joseph Lapira played in America and got a cap against Ecuador and based on the highlighted line that is who I presume he was thinking of.

And you are correct, it was not 1992, I posted up the players who played in the US Cup in 1992 but for you, here you go again:

Only from doing quick research, Galway's Johnny Glynn seemed to have trained with the squad and did not make it to the squad on match days.

You'd think Jack would have given him a cap after all that

Irwin replaced by Peyton ( goalkeeper ) ?
