International Career
Barton made his debut for England in the infamous February 1995 friendly away match against the Republic of Ireland (where he infamously blessed himself at the end of the Irish anthem), which was abandoned after only 27 minutes because of rioting extreme-right English fans. Later that year, he earned his second and third against Sweden and Brazil respectively. In the latter, which proved to be his last international match, he was only a very late substitute coming on for John Scales.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
