International Career
Barmby's England career stretched to 13 starts and 10 substitute appearances accounting for four goals, including the first goals of both Glenn Hoddle's and Sven-Göran Eriksson's reigns as England manager, in a 3–0 World Cup qualifier victory against Moldova in 1996 and a 3–0 friendly victory over Spain at Villa Park in 2001. Barmby played for his country at Euro 96 and Euro 2000, and also played in England's historic 5–1 away victory over rivals Germany on 1 September 2001. Despite being a regular starter on the left of midfield during England's qualifying campaign Barmby was omitted from the final squad for the 2002 World Cup and was never called up thereafter.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
