Malta substitute player replacing Joe Galea was Edwin Camilleri of Hibernians not Joe Camilleri. Here is a link showing the substitute bench for that match on my Facebook page. First three players in the picture are Joe Zarb, Charlie Scerri and Edwin Camilleri who all came in as substitutes in the second period. The other two - Jesmond Delia and goalkeeper Ciappara remained on the bench, (link: )
