Biography:
Born at Walker's Place, Londonderry to Edward and Bridget (nee Doherty), Barney Donaghey started his playing career with Derry Celtic as an 18 year-old. Not a prolific goalscorer, he managed about 50 goals in a career that took him from Derry to Belfast and on to Edinburgh, Lancashire and back to Derry again.

Donaghey opened his goalscoring account for Derry Celtic with 2 goals in the 3-3 draw with Cliftonville in the Irish League in September 1900. In his short spell with Ulster he scored a goal in a Charity Cup match in April 1902 while on his debut for Belfast Celtic on 30/08/1902 he scored a goal in the 4-2 defeat of Linfield and followed up with another goal in the 2-0 defeat of his previous club Derry Celtic on the 4th October 1902.

Undoubtedly the most famous player at Derry Celtic he played twice for the Irish League team while in their colours. His one full International appearance possibly brought him under notice from Hibernian in Scotland as three of their players were in the Scottish team. After playing for the Irish League against the Football League at Manchester on the 14th October 1905 he was signed by the United club to the end of the season.

During the Great War Donaghey served in the 1st Battalion of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. He was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1st July 1916, leaving behind his wife of two years, Sarah (nee Maguire). He is buried at Mill Road Cemetery, Thiepval.

Biography:
Harold Sloan was perhaps the most outstanding player in the "gentleman" Bohemians team at the beginning of the twentieth century and his name is inextricably linked with the Bohs home ground, Dalymount Park.

On 7 September 1901 he scored the first ever goal at Dalymount Park, the long-time “home” of football in Dublin, in a 4-2 win over Shelbourne. On 14 March 1903 he again graced another Dalymount first, as the Irish Cup Final was held outside Belfast for the first time – unfortunately he finished on the losing side as Distillery beat Bohs 3-1. A year on, when Dalyer hosted its first international match, Sloan was again involved as Ireland gained a highly credible draw with Scotland.

In his international career, spanning eight caps and five goals over six years, Sloan featured at inside-left, outside-right, centre-forward and left-half. Undoubtedly he reached his pinnacle with a hattrick in a 4-4 draw with Wales at Cardiff Arms Park in 1906. His two other international goals also came against Wales, in a 3-2 defeat in 1907 and in a 1-0 win in 1908. A century on, his total of eight caps has never been bettered by another Bohemians player, and only matched by Eamonn Gregg.

Other highlights in Sloan’s playing career included two appearances for the Irish League, in 2-0 and 2-1 defeats by the Football League and Scottish League respectively, and a goal in the 1-1 1908 Irish Cup Final draw with Shelbourne, with Bohemians winning the replay 3-1. Sloan’s final appearance on the big stage came in the 1909 Irish Cup Final, where Bohs lost out in a replay at Dalymount to Cliftonville.

Sloan served in the First World War as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery. He was killed in action in January 1917, leaving behind his widow, Mabel. He is buried at the Guard’s Cemetery in Combles, France.

Biography:
Capped while with each of Belfast's "big three" clubs, Jimmy Maxwell was a capable player right across the forward-line.

Maxwell first made an impact in Linfield's "treble" winning campaign of 1901/02, claiming Irish League, Irish Cup and City Cup winner's medals. He was rewarded with a first cap in February 1902, playing in his favoured inside-right role in a 3-0 win over Wales at Cardiff Arms Park. As well as the three International caps Maxwell won while a Linfield player, he also played for the Irish League in a rare win against their Scottish counterparts, 1-0 at Grosvenor Park in February 1903.

Transferred to Glentoran in 1904, he made an early return to Windsor Park, scoring in a 2-2 draw with his old club, as the Glens went on to claim the Irish League title. Maxwell returned to the Ireland team after a two-year absense winning caps against Scotland and Wales.

After a single season at the Oval, Maxwell moved on to join Belfast Celtic. Further major honours eluded him while at Paradise, though he did play in the 1906 Irish Cup Final defeat by Shelbourne at Dalymount Park. He scored his first international goal in April 1906, in a 4-4 draw with Wales (note that some sources credit him with two goals in this match), and made his final appearance in an Ireland shirt eleven months later, in a 3-0 defeat by Scotland.

In July 1916 Maxwell was "reported killed" while serving in the Great War*.
