You aren’t available to play are you?

, “Soccer, my way”, by your grandfather is a great book.
This thread is infinitely more pleasant than the vicious bile being spewed out on the Ange thread(s)
Yeah, have read that and The Double and Before
LEG. END!!!
Wish we had your Grandad reincarnated and playing for us again. That man was a true leader.
I also loved that he blew out This is your Life. To this day, I believe he's the only person who's ever done that.
Can't wait to tell my Old Man that Danny's Grandson is on this forum.
BTW, I named my Son Danny in honour of your Grandad.
I’ve mentioned quite a few pages back that I watched the final with my 82 year old dad, one of my brothers, and my 10 year old son. Your grandfather is the reason we all (plus my younger brother) support Spurs, an allegiance dating from the 1950s when my dad made his choice based on seeing an East Belfast man, former Glentoran player, and Northern Ireland skipper, captaining Spurs.
I coach my son’s under-11 team and always get a kick out of one of our weekly training sessions being at the Blanchflower Stadium.
My oldest mate was also a Spurs fan as a kid, thanks also to his dad, he watched the 1991 FA Cup final at my house. His little brother is called Danny - you can guess why…
Thanks - really nice to hear
Do you still live in Belfast?
Seems like a nice city now it's calmed down a bit
I'm going to do a Portadown away game in Belfast next season. Which is the easiest team to get to from either airport?
The Oval is pretty much literally a stone’s throw from City airport, and the Glentoran-Ports matches still have a bit of a feisty edge.
For International airport, Ballymena would be the closest, or if going into Belfast I’d say Cliftonville might be the shortest trip.
Yeah I grew up in Bangor a bit down the road, studied “across the water” but live in Belfast now - it is a nice city now, good place to live and visit, thankfully a lot of the dark times of the past left behind.
Blanchflower Stadium is just down the road from me, it’s home to a second tier league club here but is also NI’s youth international stadium, loads of youth cup finals are played there, and with the pitches being 3G loads of teams train there too. Definitely keeps “Blanchflower” as a household name for footballing kids across the city!
Brilliant, much appreciated.
