A Day to Remember Our Legends
Over the years, our community has sadly lost some incredible people — names that meant the world to us and memories that live on in our hearts every single day.
From much-loved friends like Kev McGivern, Jim Pollick, Garry Murray, Dave Miller Snr, Alex McConnell Snr, Mark Bible, Richie Lawman, Franny Leese — to family, neighbours, teammates and legends of years gone by including Big Alan Murray, Gary & Donald Wilson, Brian Walker, Tommy Kane, Willie Moffat, Paul McCabe, Colin (Gash) McGinlay, Eric McKay, Kevin Shanty Byrne, Malcolm Shanks, Bobby Campbell, Andre Perehinec, Gareth Muir, Danny McDonagh, Garry Faulkner, David, Joe & James McBlain, Franny Malone, Mr Charley Furey Snr, Rab Walls, Billy Kirby, Rab Monteith, Pat Hannigan — and so many more.
💬 If you would like to add the name of a loved one to this day of remembrance, please reach out to Alex McConnell, Beth Pollock or Maddy McGivern. We’d be honoured to include them.
This event is about taking a moment — together — to reflect, to celebrate, and to remember all those who have gone before us. Because while they may no longer be with us, their impact and memory live on.

Our chosen charity is ANDYSMANCLUB, who do amazing work in the field of mental health and suicide prevention. If you feel moved to contribute, donation boxes will be available throughout the evening, and a small entry fee from the match will also go to this cause. You can also donate online here:

Because legends never die.
