BIography:
Joe Elwood broke into Jimmy McAlinden's Glenavon side while still a teenager, featuring at outside-left in their 1957 "Double" winning side. At eighteen he moved to Division Two Leyton Orient, his free-scoring displays from the wing bringing ten goals in his first campaign in English football. After such startling early form his progress slowed somewhat, and in 1963, as Orient achieved promotion to the topflight for the only time, he played just ten times.

Still, Elwood remained in the thoughts of the Irish selectors, featuring at outside-left in 5-0 defeat by France in a 1960 B international and at inside-left in a 1962 Under-23 match, a scoreless draw against Wales. Although not a regular selection for the Os, he remained a regular goalscorer through to his return to the Irish League with Ards in 1966.

Elwood added much needed experience and guile to a young Ards side, aiding them to turn round their period of mediocrity in the mid-sixties to become challengers once again. He saved his best performances in red and blue for a run in the 1968 Irish Cup. He scored in a 4-1 win over Coleraine despite being given the unfamiliar task of man-marker Bertie Peacock. He scored again in the semi-final against Linfield, though Ards finished 2-1 losers.

Biography:
Raised on a farm near Moira, Paul “Aggy” Agnew impressed on the football field from a young age. He attracted the attentions of a number of English clubs before signing associate schoolboy forms with Bolton and earning schoolboy caps as a contemporary of the likes of Norman Whiteside and Alan McDonald. Back in the Irish League with Cliftonville, Agnew continued to impress with Northern Ireland’s youth team and earned the attentions of Chris Nicholl, then assistant manager at Grimsby Town. He arrived at Blundell Park in November 1983 for a trial, signing as a professional the following February. He remained with the Mariners for over a decade.

Although his early seasons with Grimsby were stifled by a succession of niggling injuries, Agnew found himself usefully employed at both left-back and centre-back. Although he scored only three goals for Grimsby, Agnew is fondly remembered for his equalising strike against Scunthorpe during the 1989/90 campaign that saw promotion from the Fourth Division. At the end of that season he was rewarded with an Under-23 cap, coming of the bench for Linfield’s Noel Bailie in a 3-2 defeat by the Republic of Ireland at Shamrock Rovers, Portadown. That same month he played for a “full” Northern Ireland side that faced Spurs in Danny Blanchflower’s testimonial. In April 1993 he was called into the Northern Ireland squad that travelled to face Spain as stand-in for Steve Morrow who had been injured in the celebrations following that season's Coca-Cola Cup. He was not involved in the match-day squad and came no closer to a full cap.

From such a high spot Agnew was to suffer a frustrating following campaign. While Grimsby won a second successive promotion he was struck down with hamstring and ankle injuries, limiting him to just seven appearances. Still he was an integral part of Alan Buckley’s side that solidified itself in the second tier of English football, and when his manager departed for West Brom in October 1994, Agnew soon followed. He took the captain’s armband shortly after arriving at the Hawthorns, though he was continually troubled by injuries. After forty-one games for the Throstles, plus a dozen for the reserves, Agnew was released at the end of the 1996/97 season.

From there on Agnew drifted into non-League football around the Midlands, a brief spell with Third Division Swansea aside. He held the position of Director of Football at Whittingham FC (a midlands based youth club with links to West Brom) and coached with Sutton Coldfield College’s Football Academy. Outside of football he worked as a driving instructor and with a CCTV company.
