Biography:
Portsmouth-born Paul Gray grew up in Northern Ireland, winning youth caps and playing in the Bangor firstteam as a teenager. He moved to Luton in May 1986 and made his firstteam debut in February 1988 against Everton in the Simod Cup during the Hatters' run to the 1987/88 Final. In June 1988 he signed professional terms and in December 1989 he made his Football League debut against Arsenal as a substitute for Kingsley Black. He scored his only League goal for Luton in a 3-2 win over Coventry in March 1990 on a day when the other scorers were Black and Iain Dowie - an all-Northern Irish scoresheet!

At the end of the 1989/90 season Gray played for Northern Ireland in an Under-21 international against Israel in Coleraine, and a month later appeared for a "full" Northern Ireland team against Spurs in Danny Blanchflower's testimonial. Gray was back in Luton's reserve team for the 1990/91 season and made no further firstteam appearances prior to joining Wigan Athletic in the 1991 close-season. He made his Latics debut as a substitute against Shrewsbury on the opening day of the season and he was beginning to make an impression on the starting eleven before being ruled-out by a serious ankle injury picked up against Hartlepool.

After close to two seasons out, Gray made his playing come-back with ex-club, Bangor. Although he struggled to make an impact with the Seasiders he was named "Personality of the Round" after coming off the bench to score two goals in a superb 10-minute spell in the 1993 Irish Cup quarter-final win over Glentoran as Bangor marched to the Final. Gray didn't make the team for the Final and his appearances thereafter were sporadic. His only other goal while with the Clandeboye-club was in a 3-3 draw with Coleraine in March 1995.

After another eleven months without a firstteam appearance, Gray left Bangor for Ards. His luck failed to change at Castlereagh Park and he made just four appearances from the bench in two seasons.

Biography:
Most remembered for his successful Belfast-based sports store, Sammy Moore was a leading amateur sportsman himself from the 1920s through to the 1950s - he excelled at football, water polo, golf and cricket.

A goalkeeper on the football field, Moore started out with Belfast Combination club, Nettlefield. He moved on to play for Bangor, for whom he featured in the three games it took to settle the Steel and Sons Cup Final in favour of Crusaders in 1922/23. Two years later, then with Willowfield, he had a little more luck as he claimed an Intermediate Cup winner's medal.

There then followed a lengthy return to Bangor where Moore would star in their earliest Irish League days. Finally Moore joined Cliftonville where he played until his retirement. With the Reds, Moore's appearances were limited by the presence of international 'keeper Alfie Gardiner. Gardiner was also the regular choice for Ireland Amateurs and it was when he was unavailable that Moore stepped in for both club and country.

As a golfer, Moore had a handicap of three and was a member of the Belvoir Senior Cup team for ten years during which time they won the All-Ireland Senior Cup. In 1946 he partnered Fred Daly - who was soon to be Open Champion - in a Hermitage amateur-professional scratch foursomes win.

As a strong swimmer, Moore played water polo for East End for 25 years, reaching his peak when selected for Ireland's 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games squad. He was also the holder of numerous life-saving awards and on one occasion saved the life of a companion.

At cricket, Moore was skilled as a batsman, bowler and slip fielder, playing with Nettlefield in the Belfast Cricket League.

With his own illustrious sporting days behind him, Moore was a director at Distillery and Ards and a member of the Co. Antrim FA's council for many years. He regularly accompanied the Northern Ireland international squad on foreign trips - visiting Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia, Finland and Israel. While in Israel he suffered the misfortune of breaking his pelvis after falling off a camel at the Mount of Olives.

Sporting prowess followed in the family. His brothers Eddie and Andy both played football with some distinction. Eddie as goalkeeper with Larne and Ormiston and Andy played outfield with Bangor and Willowfield. His four sons likewise were keen sportsmen at football, rugby, golf and skiing.

Sammy Moore's name lives on through the business he founded S.S. Moore Sports, for many years supplier of kits and match balls to the Irish FA.
