International Career
In the summer of 1984, Allen was given his first England cap by Bobby Robson in a friendly against Brazil, coming on as a substitute. England won 2-0 but when Allen started the next game of this tour of South America three days later, they lost 2-0 to Uruguay. He played in the third game of the tour too, which was a goalless draw against Chile. On 29 April 1987, Allen got his fourth England cap in a goalless draw versus Turkey, scoring a disallowed goal. He won his fifth and final England cap in another goalless draw, versus Israel on 17 February 1988.
He never scored for his country.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
