Biography:
David Morgan joined Nottingham Forest as a fourteen year-old and progressed through their youth ranks. He was still just seventeen when called into the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad for the first time in May 2012, and he made his debut against England that November. By that stage he had already gained firstteam experience while on loan at Conference side, Lincoln City. That season he also spent time on loan with Dundee, playing his only SPL game as a substitute in a 5-0 defeat by Celtic.


Another loan spell in 2013/14 saw Morgan back in the Conference with Tamworth, however on his return to Forest he found himself surplus to requirements. He had grown frustrated at the managerial roundabout at the City Ground which saw ten different men (including "caretakers") in the hot seat During Morgan's six year association with the club, meaning that he was unable to make his mark, particularly with the repeated spells out on loan.

Morgan didn't move far from Nottingham after his release, joining up with Kevin Wilson's Ilkeston in August 2014. The following summer Morgan followed Wilson to Nuneaton Town.

Biography:
Qualified for Northern Ireland through a Coleraine-born grandparent, James McPake was first called into the Northern Ireland squad at the end of the 2011/12 season, and put in an admirable rearguard performance on his début despite a 6-0 defeat by the Netherlands. Although he has been included in several more squads, he has yet to add to his cap collection, and seems unlikely to do so in the near future.

In January 2018 McPake announced his retirement due to a knee injury. It had been two years since he last played, having suffered the injury while playing in the Dundee-derby on 2nd January 2016. He took up a coaching position with the Dundee Academy.

Biography:
A product of Ipswich Town's successful youth set-up, Chris Casement tasted some early successes as a strong central defender. He was part of the Tractor Boys team that claimed the 2005 Youth Cup and he played for Northern Ireland at various youth levels.

After only a handful of appearances for Ipswich and several loan spells away from Portman Road, Casement was released in May 2009. Later that month he was called-up to a weakened Northern Ireland squad for a friendly international in Italy.

In June 2009 Casement signed a three year deal at Scottish First Division side, Dundee. After just a handful of firstteam appearances he signed with Linfield on loan on 31st January until the end of the 2009/10 season. He left Dundee by mutual consent in June 2010 despite having two years to run on his contract. On 10th July he signed a two year part-time contract with Linfield.

Having failed to command a regular place at Linfield, Casement agreed to join Portadown for the 2012/13 season.

Biography:
Harry Hampton's nine caps stood as a Bradford City record until surpassed by Jamaican international, Jamie Lawrence in the early-2000s.

Hampton had come to the attentions of the Irish FA when his Irish-birth had come to light during his time with Dundee Reserves. He was selected at right-half for an international trial match for an "Anglo-Irish XI" against a "Home Irish XI" in January 1910.

Signed by the Bantams from Dundee in March 1910, Hampton was mainly a squad player, slotting in at left or right-half as required. In City's 1911 FA Cup-winning campaign he played just once, in a second round 2-1 win over Norwich City. Hampton returned to Ireland in May 1914, signing for Distillery where he was used mainly as back-up to regular half-backs Bob McCracken, George Kay (later manager of Liverpool) and Tommy Milne.

Hampton won his final cap in a 3-0 victory over England that helped Ireland to their first outright British Championship success in 1914. During the First World War, having returned to live in Bradford, he served with the Labour Corps between 1916 and 1919 and was discharged with an injury to his knee. Bradford City had retained an insurance policy in the case of such an injury occurring to Hampton.

With his playing days over, Hampton settled in Derby where he worked for the Electricity Board. He died there in 1946 from acute heart failure and cancer of the lung and is buried in Nottingham Road Cemetery, Derby.
