pat daly -lrb- born 4 december 1927 in dublin died 1 january 2003 -rrb- , also known as paddy daly is a former irish football player who played as a centre half .
he joined shamrock rovers f.c. in 1949 as a defender .
he also had a brief spell in england with aston villa in the 1949-50 season playing just three games for the birmingham based club .
he won his one and only senior cap for the republic of ireland national football team on 8 september 1949 in a 3-0 win over finland in dalymount park , dublin in a world cup qualifying game .
daly 's appearance that day was shrouded in controversy , however .
the fai had unwittingly infringed the rules of the world cup tournament by bringing on a substitute , which at the time , prohibited players being replaced .
daly represented the league of ireland xi on 3 occasions while at glenmalure park .
