Tony Cascarino — brief profile
- Full name: Anthony Paul Cascarino
- Birth: 1 September 1962, Gillingham, England
- Nationality: Born in England; internationally represented the Republic of Ireland
- International career: Cascarino won 88 caps for the Republic of Ireland between 1985 and 1997, scoring 19 goals. He played at major tournaments including UEFA Euro 1988 and the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups.
- Club career highlights:

- Chelsea (significant period), Marseille (brief), and Marseille spelling correction — also played for clubs such as Nottingham Forest, among others
- Background notes: Cascarino was raised in England and for many years believed he qualified for Ireland through an Irish ancestor. Later investigations and his own statements revealed uncertainty about his Irish ancestry; he has French-Maltese heritage through his father. Despite the ancestry questions, his Ireland caps and contributions remain part of his record.
Clarification: Tony Cascarino is not Albanian. He was born and raised in England and represented the Republic of Ireland internationally. The user-provided description calling him "from Albania" appears to be incorrect.
