The Directors and Management of Glentoran would like to pay respects and offer condolences to the family of Mervyn Bell, who sadly died yesterday.
Mervyn's name is synonymous with our East Belfast neighbours, having spent an incredible 40 years at the club as both player and manager. In his long period at the helm the Duns won no fewer than 27 trophies in 33 years, including nine league titles. He is so revered at Wilgar Park that the newly constructed main stand there was named after him in November 2020 (see photo above).
On behalf of the entire Glentoran Family we offer deepest condolences to Mervyn's family and loved ones, and to all our friends at the Hen Run. Their deep personal loss is shared by the football community in East Belfast and far beyond.
