Biography:
Tommy Priestley was a Coleraine player when he was included as inside-left in the Ireland line-up to face Scotland at Windsor Park in September 1932. Although he had been a regular in the Ireland Amateur side over the previous few seasons, he had not actually turned out for the Bannsiders during that campaign. Within days he was a Linfield player and featured in that season’s Co. Antrim Shield and Charity Cup successes.

A controversial character, Priestley could not be mistaken on the field of play as he sported a rugby-style skull cap. The red cap was to cover his premature baldness caused by a childhood illness, and brought much derision from opposition fans. Although eccentric in demeanour, Priestley was a solid player, and one of the games thinkers.

A native of Lower Windsor Avenue, Priestley had been a long-time follower of Linfield’s fortunes, and once he arrived at the club he was reluctant to leave. After a mid-week friendly with Sheffield Wednesday he rejected a move to Hillsborough. The story was the same when offered the chance to move to Rangers, but he eventually left Linfield for Chelsea on 7 June 1933. The move, valued at between £2,000 and £3,000 hinged on the precarious financial situation at Windsor Park and the job Priestley had been offered the job of schoolmaster at Arthur Street School, Peckham.

Shortly after his move to Stamford Bridge, Priestley returned to Windsor Park for an international match with England. He lasted just a season with Chelsea, his club career brought to a close after mud entered his eye, causing a major problem. Although Chelsea retained his registration through to 1939, Priestley returned to the field with Shelbourne. While with Shels he was selected three times by for the League of Ireland, tasting success on each occasion with victories over the Yugoslav, Irish and Scottish Leagues.

With his playing days behind him Priestley became a school principal in Lambeg. He remained a regular match-day visitor to the Windsor Park press box up until his sudden death following an operation at the Royal Victoria Hospital in July 1985.

Biography:
John McVicker became the first Irish international to feature in the English Football League when he appeared for (the original) Accrington FC in the 1891/92 season.

A member of Glentoran in their first season in football, McVicker was just fourteen years-old when he turned out in the forward-line for a number of friendly appearances. His competitive debut came in the following seasons Irish Cup, still four months short of his sixteenth birthday. More normally he turned out for the Glens’ Second XI, for whom he scored a hattrick against Lavinia in March 1884.

In 1885/86 McVicker scored his first recorded competitive goals, consecutive braces in the Irish Cup against Ligoniel and YMCA. He also played in Glentoran’s first Final appearance, a 5-1 Belfast Charity Cup defeat by Cliftonville. In 1887/88 he was the scorer of the Glens’ first ever goal against Linfield, but the Blues won that historic clash 3-1. By the end of the season’s end he was a Linfield player, and it was while on the Blues’ books that he made his Ireland debut.

McVickler returned to Glentoran during the 1888/89 season, converting to right-back. It was in that role that he won his second cap. In windy conditions the Irish put in a “plucky” performance, but their “packed goal” couldn’t see off a rampant Scotland who ran out 7-0 winners.

In 1891 McVicker became the first Glentoran player to transfer to an English club, signing with Birmingham St. George. He then played League football with Accrington and Ardwick (renamed Manchester City in 1894) before playing his final football with Macclesfield. He remained in Macclesfield until his death.

Biography:
A winger who could light up matches, Sam McGregor’s game was somewhat hindered by his poor goalscoring record. A regular in the Glentoran forward-line for two seasons, he managed just one goal, the opener in a 4-1 Gold Cup hammering of Distillery in April 1922.

After an incredible season with Glentoran in 1920/21, which brought a League and Cup ‘Double’ and a Co. Antrim Shield success, McGregor was included in the Irish line-up that faced Scotland at Windsor Park. He was one of five debutants as the side lost out 2-0 and was never capped again. Between January and October 1921 he also played three times for the Irish League, finishing on the losing side each time.

In the 1922 close-season McGregor made the short move to Dundela, where he spent a season, before joining Ards for their first season as in the Irish League.

Biography:
Harold McCaw spent eight glorious seasons with Linfield. In his time at Windsor the flying winger picked up every honour available. He was part of the famous Blues forward-line that read Houston – McCracken – Bambrick – Matthews – McCaw, remaining life-long friend and gold partner to Billy Houston.

Capped six times by Ireland, McCaw scored his only goal against Scotland in 1930. That goal, direct from a corner-kick, was scant consolation for the Irish side who were outclassed 3-1 by a gifted Scottish eleven. He enjoyed no more luck in his four inter-league appearances. His only goal for the Irish League was a second-half consolation in a 9-1 hammering by the Football League in Newcastle.

Biography:
As a teenage-forward Noel Ward’s two goals fired Derry City to the 1971 Irish Cup Final, only for the Candystripes to lose out 3-0 to Distillery. Following Derry’s resignation from the Irish League early in the 1972/73 season Ward moved on to Portadown as a semi-pro. He earned another runners-up medal when he came on as a sub as the Ports lost 2-0 to Linfield in the Gold Cup Final in May 1973.

Born in Donemana, near Strabane, as a youngster Ward played both Association and Gaelic football, but it was the Irish game on which he concentrated after leaving school to start his apprenticeship as a fitter. As is so often the case, he was spotted almost by accident, playing in a works match, and invited for a trial by Derry City. He signed amateur forms and was one of the few bright-lights in Derry’s last few dark seasons as an Irish League club.

Transferred to Aberdeen after just a season with Portadown, Ward was forced to bide his time in the reserves. It was with the Dons that he first started playing in defence, his ample six-foot-plus frame making him an ideal stopper. He made his Scottish League debut against Partick in March 1975 as stand-in centre0half for Willie Young, and with Young’s departure for Spurs early in the following season it seemed Ward would make that role his own. It was not to be as new manager, and future Scotland boss, Ally McLeod just didn’t seem to “fancy” the young Irishman.

After playing out the remainder of his Aberdeen career in the reserves, often being employed as goalkeeper, Ward moved on to Northern Premier League side, Wigan Athletic. A legendary figure at Wigan, Ward played over eighty matches for the club outside the Football League, helping them to a third round FA Cup appearance against Birmingham and runners-up spot in the NPL in 1978. With Southport voted out of League football, Wigan were promoted to take their place due to NPL champions, Boston’s ground not meeting the required standards.

Ward was a member of the Wigan eleven that took the field for their first match as a Football League club against Hereford on 19 August 1978. His form in the Fourth Division was being monitored by Danny Blanchflower who invited him to Stamford Bridge. While many assumed this was the prelude to a transfer to Chelsea, it was just so the Northern Ireland boss could measure Ward up as an international. Obviously impressed, Blanchflower brought Ward into the squad at the expense of the likes of Jim Hagan and Mal Donaghy, both of whom were playing at a higher level.

International honours never arrived as Ward was injured against Portsmouth on 1 September 1979 and forced to retire at the end of that season. In May 1982 he was awarded a testimonial match as Chelsea visited Springfield Park. He also took to the field again as player-manager of Ashton, settling in the Wigan area to work as manager of a local supermarket.

Biography:
A contemporary of Norman Uprichard and Derek Dougan at Portsmouth, Sammy Chapman was a member of Northern Ireland's 1958 World Cup squad (though not one of the 17 that travelled) having played, and scored a penalty, in the B international with Romania the previous year. He never added full honours to his collection, but went on to skipper Mansfield Town to promotion from the Fourth Division in 1962/63.

Chapman's playing career was ended by a betting scandal at the end of the 1963/64 season when he was suspended by Mansfield. In January 1965 he was jailed for six months (along with two teammates and seven players from other clubs) for his part in a match-fixing syndicate.

Later Chapman returned to football as a coach with Crewe, and was later Chief Scout at Wolves before being appointed caretaker-manager from August to September 1985, and taking the post permanently in November following a 61 day spell in charge by Bill McGarry. He was sacked at the end of that season as Wolves suffered a second successive relegation, and found themselves in the Fourth Division.

Representative Honours: Ireland: 3 Full Caps (1901-1904).
Club Honours: (with Freebooters) Irish Cup Runner-Up 1900/01.

Club Career:
Freebooters (Dublin).

Biography:
Harry O’Reilly made a bright start on his international debut, forcing an early save from the Scottish goalkeeper. It proved a rare bright-spot in the Irish side’s day as they collapsed to an 11-0 defeat at Parkhead in February 1901. A month later Ireland put in a much more accomplished performance, but again failed to find the net in a 1-0 defeat by Wales.

That season brought O’Reilly’s club, the amateur Dublin Freebooters, their only Irish Cup Final appearance. On the way to the show-down with Cliftonville they defeated Linfield 2-1 in the semi-final, only to lose out 1-0 on the big day.

There was a three-year gap between O’Reilly’s second and third caps. He was part of an all-amateur Dublin-based forward pairing with Bohemian’s Harold Sloan. While the duo were generally outclassed by the Scottish backs, O’Reilly was credited for his hard-work in the creation of Ireland’s late equaliser. Still, that proved his final game at international level as cross-channel talent was preferred for future matches.

Born at the Curragh Army Barracks in Kildare, Charlie Webb was the son of Sergeant William Webb. He played in the Irish League for Bohemians before playing in England with Southern League side, Brighton and Hove Albion.

Webb proved a reliable goalscorer from inside left for Brighton, finding the net 79 times in all, including a strike on his debut against West Ham. In the 1909/10 season he scored nine times as the Seagulls won the Southern League title for the only time and in the Charity Shield he scored the winner against Football League Champions Aston Villa – the only time a Southern League team won the Shield.

Honoured at inter-league level while with Bohs, Webb won all three of his international caps whilst a Brighton player. His first cap, against Scotland at Ibrox, gave Webb little chance to shine as a “poor” Ireland side was comprehensively beaten. Although the Irish ran Wales close in his second game, even taking an early lead through Billy Lacey, he again finished as a loser. Two years followed before his third capped was won, and again Scotland were the opponents. He came in for the unavailable James Macauley and in a bright start for the Irish forward-line he was presented with an open goal only to shoot wide. The Scots then showed their class to win 2-0.

During the Great War Webb served with the Cheshire Regiment, attaining the rank of corporal. Captured by the Germans, it was while in captivity that he received a letter from the Brighton directors informing him of his appointment as manager.

Webb began his stewardship on his return to England in 1919 and held the post continuously until 1947. His 28 years in charge remains a club record and spanned 1,200 games and the club’s election to the Football League as founder members of Division Three (South) in 1920. He famously produced a number of steady sides on a shoestring budget and worked tirelessly for the club, selling tickets for cup ties from his house and storing the gate money in his larder over the weekend while waiting for the bank to open!

After Webb’s retirement as Brighton manager in 1947 he was honoured with a grand testimonial match, First Division giants Arsenal and Portsmouth playing each other at the Goldstone Ground in 1949. Although he passed away in 1975, Webb is still fondly remembered in his adopted town. In 2003 a bus was named after him and that same year a plaque was unveiled in his honour at his long-time home on Frith road.

Biography:
John Wright was a member of the Cliftonville squad that won the 1907 Irish Cup Final with victory over Shelbourne, though he missed the replay in which the trophy was claimed. He made amends the two seasons later as he played in both games as Bohemians were seen-off in the Blue Riband final.

Wright also claimed two Championship medals with Cliftonville. In 1906 the title was shared with Distillery after two play-offs could not yield a winner. In 1910, a season in which he ended up on the losing side in the Irish Cup Final for the only time, Wright was part of the Cliftonville side that pipped Belfast Celtic to the title by a two-point margin.

Biography:
Frank Rushe began his career with his hometown club, Bessbrook Athletic. He joined Glenavon where he made an immediate impact in the reserve side, scoring six times in his first couple of outings. Promotion to the Irish League side was rapid, and he played at centre-forward in the Lurgan side’s 1922 Irish Cup Final defeat by Linfield.

The 1922/23 was spent by Rushe plying his trade in the Free State League with Dublin United. He scored nine times that season, finishing as the club’s topscorer but they were not re-elected after just two years as a League club. The following season he was Shelbourne’s leading scorer as they finished runners-up to Bohemians.

An end-of-season friendly between Shels and Distillery prompted Rushe’s move back north. While the Whites had a poor season in the Irish League the cups brought better luck. They claimed the Irish Cup with a 2-1 Final win over Belfast Celtic. A month later came a 2-0 Gold Cup Final replay defeat of Queen’s Island, with Rushe scoring the second goal. Once again he finished as his team’s top goalscorer.

While with Distillery Rushe was honoured in the all-Irish League Ireland side that faced South Africa in September 1924. His goal gave the Irish a half-time 1-0 lead before the South Africans ran-out 2-1 winners. That season he also played twice for the Irish League in 5-0 and 3-0 defeats by the Football League and Scottish League respectively.

After a season-long return to Glenavon, Rushe moved to Dundalk for their first campaign in the Free State League. He missed the opening match of the season at Fordsons (in Cork) due to a registration hitch and had to wait for the trip to Athlone the following week for his debut. As one of the few experienced players in the Dundalk squad he was employed in a variety of roles, eventually making his favoured centre-forward position his own. While it proved an inauspicious first senior campaign for Dundalk, Rushe did have the honour of scoring their first FAI Cup goal in a 6-1 defeat by Bohemians.

Later Rushe played with Newry Town and he remained a regular and popular visitor to Dundalk games at the Athletic Grounds and later Oriel Park.

Biography:
Willie Reid made his name with Glentoran during the 1920s, winning a host of honours (though an Irish Cup winner's medal eluded him) and inter-league honours (against the Free State League in 1926). He left Belfast behind in the summer of 1926 to emigrate to the United States where he played, with some success, for Bethlehem Steel in the ASL.

An imposing centre-half, Reid spent over a decade with Hearts, playing exclusively in the Scottish First Division. He made his Hearts debut as right-back on 13 April 1927 in a 3-0 Dunedin Cup (a competition involving clubs from Edinburgh and the surrounding area) win over Falkirk.

In 1930, when selected by Ireland for a Home Nations match against England at Bramall Lane, Sheffield, Reid became the first non-Scottish Hearts player to win international recognition. His Hearts career came to a close in 1936 after ten years spent largely as centre-half. He was awarded a testimonial – joint with teammate Sandy Herd – against Chelsea. 8,500 turned up to bid the pair a fond farewell and watch a 1-1 draw.

On leaving Hearts Reid returned to Ireland, playing in the League of Ireland with Dundalk.

THE FOOTBALLING FAMILY REID

Excerpt from Glentoran Gazette 1997 by Roy France

The Reid family originally came from the Riccarton area, near Kilmarnockin Scotland, but moved to Belfast in 1900. Jimmy, John, Max, Davy wereborn in Scotland while Willie (Bill’s Father) and Bob were born in Ulster.As the brothers themselves got involved in senior football they graduallymoved on to England, Scotland, the U.S.A. and Canada.

John, also known as Jack, Began with Distillery before a £750 transfer tothe now defunct New Brighton in August 1921, aged 23. He spent eightseasons with the “Rakers” before coming back to the Irish League withfirstly, Ballymena then Bangor. While with the Braidmen he won an IrishCup winners medal in 1929 before briefly rejoining New Brighton for afew months and then returning to his roots to complete his career at Distilleryagain. Originally a centre-forward, he scored twice versus Belfast Celtic inthe 1920 County Antrim Shield final before being converted to a centre-half. For the Wirrall men he made over 170 appearances.

Max Reid, five years older than John, was also a star with New Brighton,making 109 appearances between 1921 and 1927. Indeed the club stageda joint benefit match for them in 1926 when an “Irish XI” took on a“Scottish XI”. Max, an enthusiastic wing-half with a biting tackle, beganalso with Distillery and returned to local football with Portadown before deciding to try his luck in Canadian soccer.

The only brother to gain a full international cap was Willie. Although thereis a story that John was invited to a trial match, only for the selectors to laterdiscover his Scottish birth. Willie in his early career was picked for Scotlandbut when the selectors discovered he had already played for Junior Irelandthey had to replace him. Willie began with junior clubs Ulster Rangers andBloomfield Olympic before going to Glentoran in 1923. He had three seasonswith Glentoran, playing 83 times for them and scoring 13 goals. During hisGlentoran career he represented both the Irish League and the Irish IntermediateLeague, but possibly his most important feat with Glentoran was scoring oneof the goals in a 2-1 win at Newry which clinched the 1924/25 League Championship.In 1926 Willie also went trans-Atlantic and signed for Bethlehem Steel Works inthe American Soccer League Inc. In 1930 Willie returned to Northern Ireland. Glentoran still held his registration and indeed offered him a £50 signing on fee with £4 a week wages. However after a short spell with Willowfield he joined Heart of Midlothian in Scotland. Willie spent seven seasons at Tynecastle (three as captain) and gained his international cap versus England in October 1930during this spell. In the late thirties he moved across Edinburgh to Hibernianand later back across the Irish Sea to Dundalk. Willie also managed Ballymena Utd.in 1946 when the team started back up after the war. He ended his career with Short Brothers and Harland Antiques.

The next brother in question is David, or Davy Reid, He also began with Distillerybefore joining Everton in the early 1920’s. Davy was called the “best left foot” in the English First Division at outside-left. After a lengthy spell at Goodison hereturned to Ballymena in 1929 before finally becoming Glentoran’s coach in 1934.He also managed Coleraine in the late Thirties.

The oldest of the brothers was Jimmy, whose career began before the First World War.He appeared 136 times for Glentoran between 1905 and 1915, but not at all during 1908/9and 1909/10 the period when he was with Oldham Athletic. In the 1920’s Jimmy trained both Glentoran and the Irish League representative team, completing a notabledouble as he had played for the Irish League against their Scottish counterparts in 1910/11.

The final member of the clan was Bob. He was with Cliftonville and Distillery,Playing mainly for their Second XI but he too had a spell in U.S. soccer.

Biography:
Sid Reid signed for Distillery from amateur north-Belfast side, Ophir. He made his senior debut on 13 October 1927 and established himself as the White’s regular right-back for the next two years. In 1929 he played in the 3-3 Charity Cup Final draw with Glentoran as the trophy was shared. The following campaign again began promisingly and he was selected for the Irish League’s match against the Scottish League. That same season he also aided Distillery to the Gold Cup Final, but missed out on a winner’s medal as he was transferred to Derby County in December 1929.

The deal, initially worth £850 with a further £250 due if he won international caps, found Reid utilised primarily as a reserve. He had to wait for the 1931/32 campaign to make his First Division debut. Still, in six years at the Baseball Ground he made just 16 appearances, slotting in as deputy left-back or right-back as required. Despite his lack of impact on the Football League he was called on three times by the Ireland selectors.

This was due to Scottish FA rules requiring all players fielded by a club to be signed to that club. Therefore, this was a Rangers team with Celtic players as guests.

During the 2-2 draw, Tully swerved a corner kick from the left (he took them with either foot from both sides) past the astonished and unbalanced Gil Merrick in the England goal.

Biography:
The 1970/71 season marked a high-point in Peter Watson’s long and varied football career. He featured in a Distillery forward-line alongside a young star-in-the-making, Martin O’Neill, finished as the club’s topscorer and received an Irish Cup winner’s medal. The campaign culminated with inclusion in the Northern Ireland squad, and he made his international debut as an 88th minute substitute in a 5-0 European Championship win over Cyprus. That proved to be his only cap and thus Watson’s two-minute international career is the shortest on record!

Watson first made waves as a teenager with ‘B’ Division Newry Town in the early sixties, earning a move to Aston Villa. He spent a little-over a year at Villa Park but failed to make an impact before returning ‘home’ due to home sickness, joining Glenavon. Although the great Lurgan Blues’ side of the late-fifties had largely broken up, they were still a force to be reckoned with and the young Watson starred as a nippy outside-right in Ulster Cup and City Cup successes. He also featured in the 1965 Irish Cup Final defeat by Coleraine and played four times for the Irish League.

Unable to achieve his dream of a second chance in English football, Watson moved to Glentoran in November 1968. Although he got off to a bright start at the Oval, scoring the winner in an early return to Mourneview, Watson was unable to retain a place in the starting eleven. In December 1969, having failed to feature for Glens from the start of the season, Watson was used as a makeweight in the transfer deal that took Gerry McCaffrey from Distillery to Glentoran.

With Distillery Watson began to re-establish himself as one of the Irish League’s leading stars. Now playing mainly at inside-right, he scored a total of 27 goals in a season which brought a 3-0 Irish Cup Final success over Derry City, but also saw the final games played at Grosvenor Park. The following campaign brought further good form for Watson and he finished as the Irish League’s equal topscorer with fifteen goals. He also played in the home and away legs of the Whites’ Cup Winners’ Cup meeting with Baracelona. 1972/73 proved to be Watson’s last with Distillery, and he managed twelve goals for the virtually crippled club.

In August 1973 Watson joined Dundalk, where he found himself employed largely in defence. At the time the club was failing to live up to their fans’ expectations following the successes of the ‘sixties, and a sole Leinster Cup success was scant consolation. Early in the 1974/75 season manager John Smith left Oriel Park and Watson stepped-in as caretaker-player-manager. It proved a brief introduction to management as Jim McLaughlin was appointed as permanent player-manager in November. Watson left Dundalk at the end of the season, returning to the Irish League with Portadown.

Through the past three decades Watson has served as player-manager at Dungannon Swifts, coach at Rathfriland Rangers, reserve team manager with Portadown, coach then assistant-manager under Alan Fraser at Glenavon and, from January 1994, as manager back at Newry Town. Since his resignation as Newry manager in February 1996 he has managed Banbridge Town, Rathfriland Rangers and Lurgan Celtic.
