In March 2008, Northern Ireland sealed a comfortable 4-1 friendly victory over the Georgians at Windsor Park – Kyle Lafferty scored a brace while David Healy and Linfield striker Peter Thompson were also on the scoresheet.
It marked Thompson’s sole international goal across his eight appearances while Healy was presented with a special award before kick-off by UEFA president Michel Platini to mark his record-breaking 13 goals during Euro 2008 qualifying.
Nigel Worthington named a talented Northern Ireland line-up for the clash in Belfast – but where are they all now?
