Greece boss Gus Poyet enjoyed a laugh at old memories of Windsor Park as he returnd for last Thursday's Nations League match against Northern Ireland. The opening fixture of League C Group 2 brought Poyet back to south Belfast, where he and Dennis Wise travelled to watch David Healy play for Northern Ireland in 2007, desperate to work out why the striker was performing so well for his country but struggling to produce with Leeds United.
Poyet, assistant manager to Wise at the time, watched on as Healy scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Sweden, exactly as they expected, and got some stick from the Northern Ireland fans as they did so.
"For some reason David was on fire with Northern Ireland but we couldn't make him score with Leeds," Poyet said. "We thought, 'Let's go and watch him live' so we came here, we sat down and watched an incredible game. As expected, David scored.
