Ahead of Saturday's international friendly in Mallorca, BBC Sport looks back at the two occasions when Northern Ireland stunned the football world by beating European powerhouses Spain.
It's an international fixture that has delivered one of the most iconic moments in Northern Ireland 's sporting history.The ultimate giant-killing story of Northern Ireland's 1-0 win over hosts Spain in Valencia at the 1982 World Cup - the image of Gerry Armstrong drilling the ball into the net from Billy Hamilton's low cross after Luis Arconada had parried - is woven into the country's sporting folklore.
Armstrong's winner and Healy's treble account for four of 11 goals their nation has scored against one of Europe's footballing giants. The victory was made all the more remarkable by the fact that NI played the final half hour of the game with 10 men following the sending-off of defender Mal Donaghy. The win saw Northern Ireland top Group 5 and progress into a three-team group in which they drew 2-2 with Austria but lost 4-1 to France to exit the tournament.
