With the squad now in full training in preparation for the forthcoming Sadler's Peaky Blinder Irish Cup Semi Final, Head Coach Mick McDermott took the opportunity this week to speak to David Kerr from GlensTV to upfate the supporters on recent events and his plans for the future. This will be the first of a number of interviews with key Glens personnel over the next few weeks.
Glentoran Gazette contributor and former editor, John Grayden, first saw the Glens play in May, 1959. In this series he picks imaginary sides from throughout the years in a random selection of categories. A few are factual while most are subjective and by no means definitive. While he has seen most of the players in action, a few from earlier eras are included because of their contribution to the club’s history.
Sharkie McClements and the wee Green Ball.
About a month or so ago, on a Friday morning after the previous evening’s communal applause for NHS and frontline workers, I received a message from an old friend and former workmate of mine. He wrote to tell me that whilst out in his street for the weekly ritual the night before in Bangor, he had got talking about football to one of his neighbours.
Many thanks to the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) for use of this interview with Eddy Patrick from the Glentoran Gazette
What were your best moments in a Glens’ shirt?
I’d say my best and most memorable moments would be my firsts. First European match, first league win, first Irish cup win.
Favourite goal you scored for the Glens?
Has to be the one against Crusaders at the oval. It was half cleared to the edge of the box, and I volleyed it back across the keeper and into the far top corner.
This is the sixth in a series of interviews with former Glentoran players and managers where they talk about a photograph that means a lot to them. This one was published in the Gazette when Sam Robinson spoke to the legendary Rab McCreery, who had a 10 year career at right back between 1972 and 1982, including the unique distinction of captaining the club to our unbeaten Gibson Cup win in 1980-1981
The latest of Brian McClelland's compelling series of articles on significant figures from Glentoran's history. Many thanks to the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) for use of this material.
He was undoubtedly a man of many parts, yet a man apart. Player, club secretary, manager, club secretary and manager were the roles he played for Glentoran with a dedication and ruthlessness found only in that rare breed of high achiever.
Glentoran FC in association with our partners Umbro (UK) and Clubsport NI are tonight delighted to unveil our 20/21 Home Kit to our supporters both at home and around the world. The past few seasons we have drawn inspiration from vintage Glentoran pieces. Home 2020/21 looks firmly to the future for its design inspiration.
This is East Belfast. We are Glentoran FC.
Many thanks to the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) for use of this material. The "250 Club" series will consist of interviews with club members and other great Glentoran players with Eddy Patrick over the past few seasons.
