Cup Final Heroes- Gerry Mullan

Tue, 28/04/2015 - 22:45

In 1981, Ronnie McFall signed former Ballymena Utd striker Gerry Mullan from Everton for a reported £40,000. Signing for a side who had been invincible the season before Mullan tucked in straight away to McFall's side. On 28th November 1981 Mullan struck his first goal for The Glens in a 6-1 victory over Crusaders at The Oval. His debut season finished with 5 goals from 18 appearances but there was far more to come in the years that followed.

Cup Final Heroes- Johnny Jameson

Tue, 28/04/2015 - 12:10

In 1980 Glentoran manager Ronnie McFall was moulding together one of the greatest squads to ever grace Irish football. That summer he signed two new centre halfs in Alan Harrison and Trevor Erskine as well as 22 year old Jim Cleary from Portadown. Despite Glentoran sitting top of the Ulster Cup table, McFall wanted somebody to provide the crosses for Gary Blackledge up front. He completed the signing of Johnny Jameson from cross-city rivals Linfield.

Cup Final Heroes - Jim 'Bimbo' Weatherup

Mon, 27/04/2015 - 12:07

Jim Weatherup made his first team debut for Glentoran at the tender age of 17 in 1956. He entered the team in an incredible run of 5 games in a row where Glentoran conceded 3 times. We lost 4 of them 3-2! The other we salvaged a 3-3 draw. The 3-2 defeat against Bangor was Bimbo's debut where Glentoran missed two penalties on way to defeat. The day was remembered for the opening of Glentoran's new changing rooms for the first time since the Oval re-opened following the bombing in the Second World War.
