David Platt success

[TheImpaler]

David Platt is a retired English footballer, who played as a midfielder. He is currently serving on Manchester City's coaching staff as first team coach.

Platt was given his first England cap by Bobby Robson in a friendly against Italy in 1989, and was then included in the England squad when Robson named his 22 players for the 1990 World Cup.

Platt was on the bench for all of England's group games, but was sent on as an extra time substitute in the second round game against Belgium. He responded by scoring a memorable volley on the turn in the very last minute of extra time—his first goal for his country, and also the latest goal up until then (excluding deciding penalties) in World Cup history - sending England into the quarter finals.
On 1 July 2010, Platt was hired as first team coach at Manchester City, a decision that was not well received by many City fans because of his well documented anti-City stance as a pundit.
