Biography:
Captain of the Norwich side that won the 2013 FA Youth Cup, he scored penalties in both legs of a 4-2 aggregate win over ex-club, Chelsea.

Had been on the books at Fulham before signing for Chelsea as a 10-year-old in an £80,000 deal. He signed for Norwich after being released by Chelsea.

Joined Luton on a months loan in January 2014. The move was extended to the end of the season as Luton won the Conference title and McGeehan's impressive form earned him the Conference Player of the Month award for April.

Capped by Northern Ireland at Schoolboy and Youth level by Northern Ireland before elevation to the Under-21 set-up while just eighteen. Made his Under-21 debut as a sub in a 1-0 win over Cyprus in November 2013.

Made the bench for Norwich's senior team for a League Cup tie against Crawley in August 2014. After enjoying further successful loan spells with Cambridge and back at Luton McGeehan felt his career would be better served be leaving Carrow Road behind. He was once again signed by Luton, this time on a permanent deal worth "six figures".

In September 2015, McGeehan rejected a call-up for under-21 qualification matches against Scotland and Iceland, stating that he was "reconsidering his international future." In January 2017 he suffered a broken leg in a match against Portsmouth.

In May 2018 McGeehan was a surprise inclusion in the Northern Ireland squad for the Central American tour, though he had to withdraw through injury.

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 fact 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:
A talented youth player with Bangor, Dave Stewart was taken to Hull City as an apprentice by Terry Neill in the summer of 1974. He made his League debut against Blackpool in April 1975 and the following August signed professional forms, netting his ex-club a £20,000 fee.

Stewart continue to progress with the Tigers, and drew the attentions of Northern Ireland manager, Danny Blanchflower. The sort of player Blanchflower really admired, exciting and adventurous, the nineteen year-old was included in the Irish side as deputy for George Best in a 3-0 World Cup win over Belgium.

Thereafter Stewart’s effectiveness faltered as he suffered a succession of injuries. He seemed too light-weight for Second Division football and he struggled to hold down a place at Boothferry Park. After just five League appearances in the 1978/79 campaign he sought a release from the club so he could spend time convalescing in Australia, however Hull promised him a new contract on his return.

The trip "down under" fell through and Stewart subsequently rejected Hull's contract offer. Blanchflower stepped in to take him to Chelsea as a free agent in May 1979. The Stamford Bridge club had been freshly relegated to Division Two, but Stewart had little time to make an impact with Blanchflower leaving in September. Stewart left Chelsea in November 1979 without making a first-team appearance.

Signed by Fourth Division Scunthorpe, Stewart toughened-up, gaining more than a stone in weight from his Hull days. An effective goalscorer from the wing, he couldn't help lift the Iron away from mediocrity and was released after the club finished second bottom of the League in 1982. He drifted into non-League circles and spent some time in Denmark before making his Football League swansong with Hartlepool in March 1983. He left full-time football behind at the age of just 25.
