Biography:
Lee Hodson came through the ranks with his local club, Watford and made his debut as a substitute against Derby County on the final day of the 2008/09 season aged just 17. He established himself in the firstteam in the following campaign, earning praise for his consistency and making use of his strength, speed and reading of the game which allowed him to become an effective attacking force. Two-footed, he has played both in his favoured right-back role and at left-back for the Hornets.

Already a Youth international, Hodson was elevated to the Under-21 team while still just 17 years-old to make his debut in a Euro qualifier in the Czech Republic in September 2009. He is joined at Watford by fellow Northern Ireland Under-21s, Michael Bryan and Adam Thompson.

Hodson received his first senior call-up in November 2010 as a late replacement in the Northern Ireland squad to face Morocco. He played the full ninety minutes and acquitted himself well in a low-key 1-1 draw.

In July 2013, Hodson joined MK Dons on a free transfer. He soon fell out of the reckoning for both club and country, but a loan spell at Kilmarnock in the second half of the 2015/16 season appeared to re-invigorate him, and he was a surprise inclusion in Michael O'Neill's Euro 2016 finals squad.

Hodson joined Rangers on a three year deal ahead of the 2016/17 season.

Biography:

Peter Kennedy emerged as one of the brightest young stars on the Irish League scene in the mid-1990s. He stood out from the crowd at a very young age, playing in the Under-11 side when barely nine-years-old, and had early trials with Tottenham and Bournemouth. Following six years with Lisburn Youth he spent an unhappy six months with Portadown before signing with the Glentoran Colts where he picked up a Youth Cup winner's medal in 1991. He failed to make the step up at the Oval and signed for Glenavon in the summer of 1992.

His first season at Mourneview was spent mainly in the reserves, where he helped them finish third in the Irish League 'B' Division Section II, just two points behind the eventual winners, Glentoran (in fact, if Glenavon had won their final match at Omagh, the title would have been their's!).

Following another trial in the summer of 1993, this time with Blackburn, Kennedy returned to Mourneview where he finally established himself in the Glenavon first eleven. He, and Glenavon, had an outstanding season, finishing just two points off the Irish League title, and the 1994/95 season was again a successful one, all-be-it the club finished without a trophy (though they were runners-up in both the League and the Co. Antrim Shield). On a personal note however Kennedy picked up his first representative honour, playing for the Irish League Under-21 side against their FAI National League counterparts, in a 0-0 draw at Mourneview.

A suprise move in the summer of 1995 took Kennedy across Craigavon to Glenvaon's bitter rivals Portadown. At Shamrock Park his performances picked up further, as he scored 18 goals to help the club clinch a trio of trophies, the Irish League title, the Irish League Cup and the Ulster Cup. The summer of 1996 finally saw the move Kennedy had been waiting his whole career for, with Notts County stumping up a massive £100,000 for his signature.

After a decade playing in England, Kennedy returned to Portadown for the 2006/07 season. He was released by the Ports in June 2008 and after a short spell with Banbridge Town signed for Ballymena United. He managed just four matches for the Braidmen before announcing his retirement from playing in September 2008 to concentrate on obtaining his accountancy qualifications.

By July 2009 Kennedy felt that he had quit football too soon and joined Donegal Celtic.

Since quitting as a player Kennedy has managed Lisburn Rangers and Crewe United. In June 2018 he joined the coaching staff back at Glenavon.

Biography:
A sublime dribbler and a master of ball control, Bobby Irvine was amongst the most gifted attacking players of his generation. Signed by Everton for £500 in September 1921, he made his Football League debut in a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in November 1921 at Anfield. He quickly became a crowd favourite at Goodison, his bravery and determination coupled with his thrilling skills entertained the fans for six seasons. More of a creator than a scorer, Irvine normally played at inside-right, but when deployed at centre-forward he proved an effective goal-getter, best illustrated by a hat-trick against Aston Villa in January 1922.

First selected for Ireland in March 1922, Irvine played at centre-forward in a 2-1 defeat by Scotland, indeed five of his first six caps were won leading the attack. An early personal best performance came with two goals in a 3-0 win over Wales in Wrexham, but he will be best remembered for his role in 2-1 and 2-0 defeats of England at Windsor Park in 1923 and 1927, and for his goal that gave Ireland a 3-2 lead at Anfield in 1926, only for the game to finish 3-3.

Troubled by injuries through a number of spells of his career, Irvine left Everton in March 1928 having made just nine appearances in what was a title winning campaign for the Toffees. Snapped up by Portsmouth, he made his Fratton Park debut in a 1-0 win over Manchester United on 17th March. He helped his new-club to the FA Cup Final in 1929, but injury robbed him of a place in the final line-up as they lost 2-0 to Bolton. In August 1929 Irvine joined Welsh club, Connah’s Quay, where he became the only player from that club to be capped for Ireland.

With Connah’s Quay suffering severe financial difficulties, Irvine returned to Ireland, signing for Derry City. He marked his Brandywell debut with a goal in a 1-0 Gold Cup quarter-final win over Larne on 3rd September 1931. With Derry, Irvine took his caps total to 15, and in October 1932 he also played twice for the Irish League, in 5-2 and 4-1 defeats by the English and Scottish Leagues respectively.

Irvine returned to the England in May 1933 with Division Three (South) club, Watford. He played his last Football League match in spring 1934. In November 1934 he was one of five Waterford players reportedly suspended "sine die" after refusing to return on the bus following a match in Sligo. Other later clubs were Brideville (February 1936) and Leicester Post Office Engineers (November 1936). With his playing days on the wane, it was written of him: “There is no man who takes harder knocks and squeal less than Irvine.”
