Jacob was on the bench for the qualifier against China in Kunming. At 0-0and 92mins the manager tried to get him on (to soak up a bit of time). The linesman stuffed up with the hardware and Jacob didn't get on. </p> Later, the manager said he was impressed with the motivation of the players and he mentioned Jacob bollocking the linesman because he didn't get his one minute on the pitch. I don't think that the manager realised that it would have been Jacob's debut.</p>
Nah Jacob's debuted. Can't remember which game but he came on for either Valeri or Grella. Think it may have been Nigeria?
Debut in 2000 according to Wikipedia And has 5 caps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Burns_(footballer)
Either way his move to Wisla Krakow was a bit rash in efforts to get selected for the World Cup. He was never really mentioned in the media at home. He's moved on from them now as well.
