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:
Josh McQuoid's most impressive performance in a green shirt to date was a two goal salvo in an Under-21 international against Scotland.

A hattrick for Bournemouth against Tranmere in the FA Cup saw McQuoid called into the Northern Ireland squad as a late inclusion for a November 2010 friendly against Morocco. A week later he scored another hattrick as Bournemouth defeated Walsall 3-0. He then made his international debut as a half-time substitute against the Africans, and it was a foul on him that earned Northern Ireland a late penalty from which they equalised.

On 25th November 2010 McQuoid joined Millwall on an initial loan which became a permanent move valued at around £600,000 when the transfer window opened the following January. He failed to impress at the New Den and joined Burnley mid-way through the following season as striking cover. He was then allowed to return to Bournemouth on a three year deal in exchange for Scott Malone.

McQuoid made a rapid return to the Championship as Bournemouth were promoted as League One runners-up. Having struggled to make the Cherries side at the higher level, mainly due to injury, McQuoid joined Peterborough on loan and scored the opener as the Posh defeated Chesterfield in the 2014 Johnstone's Paint Trophy final at Wembley.

Prior to the start of the 2014/15 season McQuoid joined Coventry on a loan deal through to January.

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:

A promising young midfielder Terry Hayes, began his career at Linfield in the mid-1970s picking up Irish Youth Cup winner's medals with Linfield Rangers before being snapped up by David Pleat for Luton Town. Although Hayes spent just a year with the Hatters he was selected for the 1978 Under-21 match between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, despite being just shy of his nineteenth birthday.

On returning to Linfield Hayes established himself in one of the most dominant teams in Irish League history, picking up two Irish Cups and three Irish League titles amongst a host of other medals. Hayes' Linfield playing career was cut short due to a broken leg picked up during the 1983 Irish Cup Final replay with Glentoran, after a clash with Raymond Morrison.

Hayes joined the Linfield staff as physiotherapist, a role which he has held with Linfield since the mid-1980s - two seasons playing with Distillery in the early-90s aside - and also fulfilled the same role for the IFA, initially with the Northern Ireland Under-16 squad, and from 1994-2011 with the senior squad.

Biography:

Allan Mathieson emerged with Glentoran in the immediate post-Great War period. His big frame rambunctious style of play belied his scientific play and delicate footwork. He played as inside-left in all three matches it took to settle the 1919 Irish Cup Final in Linfield’s favour.

Transferred to Luton, Mathieson was to form an effective partnership on the left-hand side of the Hatters’ forward line with Louis Bookman, already an Irish international. The duo were to take to the field in Ireland’s match against England in April 1921. Leading the line for the English was Luton teammate Ernest Simms, the first time that one club had supplied three forwards for an international – and then from the Third Division.

After a spell with Division Three (South) with Exeter City and Division Three (North) with New Brighton, Mathieson moved across the Atlantic, plying his trade in both the USA and Canada. In 1930 he played for Toronto Ulster United against touring Kilmarnock and Rangers sides, scoring against the latter.

Biography:

As a player Gerry Morgan had a glorious career, but it was as trainer to Linfield and Ireland that he is best remembered.

A member of the Linfield “Seven Trophy” team of 1921/22, it was with the Blues that he won his first two caps. He then moved on to England where he was a regular centre-half (and occasional right-half) for Nottingham Forest in the First and Second Divisions.

Later he was to become 'Uncle Gerry', confidante to players such as Danny Blanchflower, wizard with the 'magic sponge' and one of the most enduring characters in the history of the Irish game.
