A centre back? A centre forward? Even he couldn’t decide at times. Starting his career in the back line, Dublin found his scoring boots really quickly and starred in a number of Premier League games. He found his name in the team sheet of Manchester United, Aston Villa and most notably, Coventry City, where he netted 61 goals in 145 appearances between 1994 and 1998.
Internationally, he managed four caps for the English National side before being controversially omitted from the 1998 World Cup squad. His ability to double up as an attacking and a defensive player was overlooked and he took no further part in the side. Even after retiring in 2008, he found his groove in the media as a football pundit. The DUBE, a percussion instrument, is his invention, which has also found takers in the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Certainly a brilliant footballer whom most have forgotten, except when we need him for the ‘name footballers with a place in the name’ game.
