Everyone at Glentoran is saddened to hear of the passing of our player from the sixties, John Kennedy.
John, a right back, signed from Linfield and played 43 first team games for Glentoran, including 6 in the title winning season of 1963-64 when he was understudy to the legendary Harry Creighton. John left for Ards at the end of that season.
Deepest condolences to John’s wife Isobel, his sons Stephen and Kevin and daughter Jennifer. John’s nephew Paul for providing this information.
