Biography:
Davy Lyner made his name with Glentoran in the immediate per-Great War seasons, taking the place of his elder brother, Roly, who had left for Linfield. He was still a teenager as he won Inter-League honours and the Irish League title at the end of 1912; and by the end of that season he played in the Irish Cup Final defeat by Linfield.

The 1913/14 season brought Lyner an Irish Cup winner’s medal – with Glentoran defeating Linfield 3-1 in the final for their first ever win – and also successes in the City Cup and Vienna Cup. The Vienna Cup is much vaunted by Glentoran as “the first ever European trophy won by a British club.” Whilst this statement is not strictly true, winning the trophy was an impressive achievement with a Vienna Select defeated 5-0 in the deciding match.

Lyner remained a regular for Glentoran throughout the War-years, claiming further Irish League and Cup medals. As football returned to normal he was awarded a first ‘Cap’ by the Irish FA, playing in a 2-1 Victory International defeat to Scotland (who incidentally played the first twenty minutes with only nine men due to late arrivals). ‘Full Caps’ weren’t far behind, Lyner playing on the left-wing in a 1-1 draw with England at Windsor Park in October 1919, and on the right in a 2-2 draw against Wales four months later.

Transferred to Second Division Manchester United in August 1922, Lyner made his Football League debut in a 2-1 defeat at Coventry City on 23 September. That proved to be one of just three first team appearances during Lyner’s time at Old Trafford, and come Ireland’s October 2-0 defeat by England at West Bromwich, he was a regular feature in United’s Reserves.

In December 1922, just four months after arriving at Manchester United, Lyner was transferred to Kilmarnock. It was during his time at Kilmarnock, a club constantly towards the foot of the Scottish First Division, that Lyner won his sixth and final cap, finally tasting victory, 3-0 over Wales. After seasons as a regular at Rugby Park, and then aged 32, Lyner returned to Ireland to play for reigning League champions, Queen’s Island. He took his total of clubs during the 1924/25 season to four with brief spells at Dundela and back in Scotland with Clydebank. In the 1925/26 season he moved to Wales, signing with Mid-Rhondda, and in 1926/27 he was back in the Football League with New Brighton.

In 1927/28 Lyner returned to Glentoran for what proved to be a disappointing season, though he did join the select few who have played more than 300 games for the club. He then ended his senior playing career back at Queen’s Island, who finished bottom of the Irish League and failed to gain re-election in 1929.

Biography:
Although Norman Lockhart scored twice on his Irish debut in 1946, he found himself dropped in favour of Southern-born players, Tommy Eglington and Jack O’Driscoll (who also took Lockhart’s place in the Swansea team). Consequently, he had to wait three and a half years for a second cap.

Belfast born, Lockhart began his football career as a youth with Windsor Star, then played briefly with Distillery, before finding success with Linfield, for whom he signed for £225 in April 1944, in the “War-Time” Northern Regional League. He played in three Irish Cup Finals, scoring in the 1945 4-2 victory over Glentoran. It was also while a Linfield player that Lockhart won the first of eight caps for Ireland, playing on the right-wing in the first proper post-war Home Nations match.

Transferred to Swansea Town in October 1946 for £2,500, Lockhart suffered the disappointment of relegation to Division Three (South) in his first season (the League’s first post-war), before moving back to Division Two with Coventry City in October 1947 for a fee of £7,000. Despite a broken ankle, he really shone in a five year spell at Highfield Road, regaining his place in an Ireland team now forced to do without their Southern players.

Although Coventry were relegated from Division Two themselves in 1952, Lockhart had done enough to impress First Division Aston Villa who splashed £15,500 on his signature in September 1952. A fast raiding winger, capable of strong crossing on the run, at Villa Park Lockhart linked up again with former Linfield colleague, Dave Walsh, a player who was regularly on the end of the outside-left’s centres. As his pace started to fade in the mid-1950s, Lockhart lost his place on the left for both club and country to Peter McParland, though he found a new role at Villa, filling in on the opposite flank.

Allowed to leave Villa Park in November 1956, Bury paid in the region of £2,000 for the aging Lockhart. A regular in the left-wing for almost two seasons, and also a reliable goal scorer, Lockhart could do little to prevent Bury’s relegation to Division Three (North) in 1957, and come the end of the following campaign, now aged 34, he was released. He returned to Northern Ireland, and replaced the transferred Billy Humphries for the away leg of Ards’ European Cup clash with Stade de Reims in Paris – the French side triumphing 6-2 to make the aggregate score 10-3.

Maurice Pyper

Name: Maurice Archibald Pyper
Born: 4 September 1904, Limavady
Died: 1 March 1990, Belfast
Position: Centre-Half

Representative Honours: Ireland: 1 Full Cap (1931).
Club Honours: (with Linfield) Irish League Champion; Irish Cup Winner 1930/31, Runner-Up 1931/32.

Club Career:
RUC; Linfield (Irish League).

Biography:
A member during the earliest days of the RUC sports association, Maurice Pyper represented the Police at hockey and golf, as well as football. At the time the RUC football team limited itself to inter-Police Force matches, the Intermediate Cup and the Steel & Sons Cup. It was not until 1956 that RUC FC was officially formed and became members of the Irish Amateur League.

Still regarded as the most outstanding player to have represented the RUC, Pyper stepped up to senior football with Linfield in 1930. He quickly established himself in the first eleven, normally at right-back, and claimed an Irish Cup winner’s medal in his first full season, as Ballymena were defeated 3-0 in the Final.

In December 1931 Pyper was included in the Ireland team to face Wales, standing in at centre-half for Linfield team-mate Jack Jones. Also featuring in the half-back line that day was another Linfield colleague, Billy McCleery, and they had an easy day as Ireland recorded a 4-0 win.

On leaving senior football behind, Pyper switched sports once again, playing for CIYMS (Church of Ireland Young Mens Society) Rugby Club. He did remain involved with Linfield at official level, taking a keen interest in the Swifts.

Andy Kennedy

Name: Andrew Lynd Kennedy
Born: 1 September 1895, Belfast
Died: 21 December 1963
Position: Left-Back

Representative Honours: Ireland: 2 Full Caps (1923-1924).
Club Honours: (with Glentoran) Gold Cup Runner-Up 1919/20; (with Arsenal) FA Cup Runner-Up 1926/27.

Club Career:
Belfast Celtic (Irish League) (0/0 Total); Glentoran (Irish League) 1918/19-1919/20 (36/0 League); Crystal Palace (Football League) 1920/21-1921/22 (4/0 League); Arsenal (Football League) 1922/23-1928/29 (122/0 League); Everton (Football League) 1928/29-1929/30 (1/0 League); Tranmere Rovers (Football League) 1930/31 (36/0 League).

Biography:
After starting out with Belfast Celtic’s youth set-up, Andy Kennedy signed with Glentoran in 1915. He played two seasons in the Glens’ first eleven after making his debut during the 1918/19 campaign, before signing for Crystal Palace in September 1920. 1920/21 saw the Football League debuts of both Palace and Kennedy, Palace claiming the Division Three (South) title with Kennedy making just a single appearance. Three more games followed the following season, before he transferred to Arsenal in August 1922.

He was primarily viewed as a reserve player at Highbury, though after stepping into the first eleven for his debut against Birmingham City on 2nd December 1922 he stayed in the team for the all but one game through the remainder of the season. By the end of that campaign Kennedy had also been honoured by his country, standing in for Jack Curran at left-back, in a 3-0 win over Wales. The following season was fairly disastrous for Kennedy, he missed the start of the campaign through injury, and on his return he struggled with form and was dropped.

Kennedy was back in the Arsenal team for the 1924/25 season, also returning to the Irish side before falling behind Rangers’ Billy McCandless in the left-back reckoning. Although he missed just one League game all season, Arsenal finished just above the relegation places, and Herbert Chapman replaced Leslie Knighton as manager. The club were about to embark on their first great period, but Chapman didn’t see Kennedy as playing a major part. It was only thanks to an injury to his replacement, Horace Cope, that Kennedy made the 1927 FA Cup Final team – famously the match ended in a 1-0 defeat to Cardiff City.

After two and a half years as a bit-part player at Highbury, Kennedy was transferred to Everton in January 1928. If he had hoped for regular matches at Goodison he was to be sadly mistaken. He had to wait until mid-way through the 1929/30 season to make his only first-team appearance as a Toffee. In June 1930 he dropped down to Division Three (North) with Tranmere Rovers. A regular in his first campaign at Prenton Park as the club finished just short of promotion, he dropped out of the first-team picture the following season, leaving the club in August 1932.

Kennedy remained in Merseyside after his playing days were over, working for south Liverpool schools up to the Second World War. He died in 1963, aged 66.

Biography:
The individual to most ‘benefit’ from the injuries sustained by Jackie Blanchflower at Munich, Dick Keith cemented his place in the Irish World Cup defence after the Manchester United star’s career was prematurely ended.

Keith began his senior career with Linfield, for whom he signed from 33rd Old Boys in 1950, signing professionally after just seventeen games for Linfield Swifts (reserves team). He stepped into the first eleven while still just seventeen, rising to become the club vice-captain and Ulster Footballer of the Year in 1956. He began to appear regularly in representative teams, most notably for the Irish FA in a 4-3 defeat by the British Army and for the Irish League in a famous 5-2 win over the Football League.

In September 1956, after months of speculation, Keith made the move to English football. Newcastle United were seeking a replacement for regular right-back Bobby Cowell, who had been injured in a pre-season European tour. Newcastle left-back Alf McMichael, who had played alongside Keith for the IFA, had no hesitation in recommending him to the club’s management. Keith left his Shankill Road home, his engineering job and Linfield behind in an £8,000 deal, plus a later £1,000 following a set number of games.

Dick Keith and Alf McMichael were to become inseparable, they were full-back partners on the field of play for both Northern Ireland and Newcastle, and they also roomed together on trips with both club and country. Immensely popular at St James’ Park, Keith made his debut in a 1-1 home draw against Manchester United. Newcastle however were a struggling team; they escaped relegation from the First Division on goal average in 1958 before finally dropping to the Second Division in 1961. Coolness personified, Keith was appointed club captain in 1962, but was unable to lead Newcastle back to the top-flight. In February 1964 he was a victim of a player clear-out at St James' Park. Signed by Bournemouth in a £3,300 deal, that season the Cherries just missed out on promotion from the Third Division.

Previously capped at Junior level, as well as representing the Irish FA and Irish League, Keith made his next step towards full international honours when he played in Northern Ireland’s first ever ‘B’ international. In October 1957 the ‘B’ team crushed Romania 6-0 at Windsor Park, and Keith, along with several of his colleagues in that team, planted his name firmly in Peter Doherty’s mind. He deputised at right-back for Willie Cunningham through late 1957 and in April 1958, the first match without Jackie Blanchflower, stood in at centre-half. Come the World Cup Finals in Sweden, Peter Doherty had decided that Keith was best used at right-back, with Cunningham in the centre of defence - and of course Alf McMichael was at left-back.

The Northern Ireland team of 1958 performed heroics to reach the World Cup quarter-finals, before losing 4-0 to France with an injury ravaged side. The highlights thereafter were few and far between, the only win in Keith’s final fifteen internationals came against Wales in April 1959, with a 3-3 draw against England and ‘plucky’ 4-3 and 3-2 defeats by West Germany and Italy respectively being the only other results of note. With Bertie Peacock replacing Doherty as Irish manager in 1962, Keith was one of several “old-guard” players to make way for younger talent.

By 1966/67 Keith had left League football behind, and was playing for Southern League Weymouth while working for a builders’ merchant. On a cold day in February 1967, whilst dismantling an automatic garage door, he was struck on the head by a spring loaded cantilever. The blow fractured his skull and claimed his life. He was just 33 years-old.

Biography:
Peter Kennedy emerged as one of the brightest young stars on the Irish League scene in the mid-1990s. He stood out from the crowd at a very young age, playing in the Under-11 side when barely nine-years-old, and had early trials with Tottenham and Bournemouth. Following six years with Lisburn Youth he spent an unhappy six months with Portadown before signing with the Glentoran Colts where he picked up a Youth Cup winner's medal in 1991. He failed to make the step up at the Oval and signed for Glenavon in the summer of 1992.

His first season at Mourneview was spent mainly in the reserves, where he helped them finish third in the Irish League 'B' Division Section II, just two points behind the eventual winners, Glentoran (in fact, if Glenavon had won their final match at Omagh, the title would have been their's!).

Following another trial in the summer of 1993, this time with Blackburn, Kennedy returned to Mourneview where he finally established himself in the Glenavon first eleven. He, and Glenavon, had an outstanding season, finishing just two points off the Irish League title, and the 1994/95 season was again a successful one, all-be-it the club finished without a trophy (though they were runners-up in both the League and the Co. Antrim Shield). On a personal note however Kennedy picked up his first representative honour, playing for the Irish League Under-21 side against their FAI National League counterparts, in a 0-0 draw at Mourneview.

A suprise move in the summer of 1995 took Kennedy across Craigavon to Glenvaon's bitter rivals Portadown. At Shamrock Park his performances picked up further, as he scored 18 goals to help the club clinch a trio of trophies, the Irish League title, the Irish League Cup and the Ulster Cup. The summer of 1996 finally saw the move Kennedy had been waiting his whole career for, with Notts County stumping up a massive £100,000 for his signature.

Biography:
Pat Kelly joined Belfast Celtic during the First World War, and helped them to claim the first post-War Irish League title. With Celtic’s withdrawal from the Irish League in 1920 Kelly was free to sign for another club, and in October 1920 elected to join Manchester City.

Within a month of his arrival at Maine Road Kelly was selected for Ireland. He won what was his only cap in a 2-0 defeat by England in Sunderland. After three seasons in which he made a limited impact at City, Kelly was allowed to move on. He signed with West Ham in July 1923, but never made a League appearance while at Upton Park.

Kelly then returned to Ireland to sign for Cork-based Fordsons.

Biography:
Born at the Mount in east-Belfast, James Miskelly (he used the name Kelly for football) began his footballing career with Belfast Glenavon in 1889, signing with Belfast Celtic (at the time still a Junior club) for the 1893/94 season. Celtic claimed their first major honour in 1895, defeating Distillery 3-1 in the Co. Antrim Shield Final at Solitude - they had finished as runners-up the two previous seasons. The club's stock then rose further with a 1-0 win over Linfield in a friendly.

Kelly made the jump to senior football a year before Belfast Celtic, signing for Glentoran for the 1895/96 season. It proved a successful campaign for Kelly; he scored nine goals (including four in the 8-2 Irish Cup semi-final win over Derry North End), played in the Irish Cup Final (although the Glens lost 3-1 to Distillery), and picked up a winner's medal following a 1-0 victory over Cliftonville in the Charity Cup Final.

That season also brought Kelly his first major representative honours. He scored both goals on his debut for the Irish League in a 2-2 draw against the Football League, adding another strike in a 3-2 defeat by the Scottish League. In March 1896 he was selected at inside-right (rather than his normal club position of inside-left) for Ireland's game against England at Solitude. The match finished in a 2-0 defeat, and proved to be Kelly's only international appearance as the Irish selectors took some time to settle on a forward line.

Four goals from Kelly (including one against his old club, Belfast Celtic, who were struggling to adjust to senior football) during the 1896/97 season helped Glentoran to an Irish League and City Cup double. The 1897/98 season brought three goals from Kelly, two of which were in a 4-2 defeat by Linfield and the other in another crushing defeat of Belfast Celtic. It proved to be a disappointing campaign for Glentoran, and Kelly dropped out of the first eleven mid-season.

Kelly returned to Belfast Celtic in 1898. He played two seasons back at Shaun's Park, helping the club to their first Irish League title before he left senior football in 1900.
