Sun, 22/10/2017 - 23:04

Glentoran's oldest living player celebrated his birthday today.

Bertie Wright is 98 years old today! 

Congratulations Bertie from everyone at the Oval and we hope to see you at a game in the very near future. 

Bertie Wright, a left-half who joined Glentoran in the 1941-42 season and who, until his departure at the end of 1948-49, played 214 games for the club.

Although he filled what would have been considered a defensive position, Bertie scored 47 goals, twice finishing as the club’s second highest scorer (seasons 42-43 and 44-45 both times with 13 goals).
