Biography:
A clever leader of the line, Gilbert Roden started in the Church League before signing with Carnmoney Comrades before joining Cliftonville Strollers. He was rapidly elevated to the senior team during the 1939/40 season and although inexperienced and inconsistent, he did on occasion manage four goals in a single match. At the end of that first campaign he was selected for Ireland Amateurs against Scotland, and "he fully justified his inclusion in the team."
