Biography:
A Linfield fan as a boy, Billy Murray (inevitably nicknamed "Ruby" or "Minto" by various wags) made his mark on the Irish League scene in the late-1970s.

He began his senior career with Portadown after being spotted by Gibby McKenzie playing schoolboy football. He enjoyed rapid elevation to the first eleven and was a prolific goalscorer from the left-wing.

In 1977 Roy Coyle identified Murray as a potential key component in re-establishing Linfield at the top of the Irish League. It took a local-record-fee to take him to Windsor Park, and in the next year he had claimed the first of many honours, the Irish League and Cup, an Under-21 cap and had represented the Irish League against their Scottish counterparts.

Murray's mesmerising skills were to dazzle the Linfield fans for over a decade and brought admiring glances from further afield. Billy Bingham included him in the provisional squad for the 1982 World Cup finals. In 1987 he enjoyed a testimonial against Shamrock Rovers, and when he left Linfield the following year at the age of 34, Rovers actually attempted to sign him. He decided to remain closer to home and joined B Division Ballyclare Comrades and played for them in their first season as a senior club in 1990/91.

Later Murray settled in Lanzarote and his legendary status with Linfield was recognised in 2017 when he became the tenth recipient of the Torrans Trophy and was also presented honoury life membership of the club.

Biography:
David Malcolmson was one of Northern Ireland's final Amateur internationals, winning two caps in the final two fixtures during the 1973/74 against England and Wales. The call up had been merited through the Portadown native's impressive performances for his hometown team which had led to both progression in Europe and the club’s Player of the Year award during the 1974/75 season.

Signed for Ballymena United in August 1975 by player-manager Arthur Stewart, but despite scoring on his debut against Cliftonville, injuries curtailed his first season at the Braid and he missed out on a County Antrim Shield winner’s medal that season.

The following year Malcolmson was an influential figure in a struggling United side – now managed by Eddie Russell as he won the club’s Member’s Player of the Year award. The midfielder’s third and final season was even more dismal than his first, as the injuries returned - the Sky Blues finished bottom of the league and Davy missed the Irish Cup final defeat to Linfield through injury.

In August 1978, Malcolmson joined ‘B’ Division side, Omagh Town.

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.
