Glentoran v Dukla Prague 1965

[blueshearer]

Hi Everyone
Does anyone have a copy of the programme for this match for sale

Thanks

Bernie

[Sir Moses Hill]

Sorry, no, but happy to share a picture. What's your interest in the game?

[blueshearer]

I understand Mike England guested for Glentoran

[Sir Moses Hill]

Good catch. The Green Bible lists only Terry Neill (Arsenal), Jimmy McIlroy (Stoke), Steve Chalmers (Celtic) and George Armstrong (Arsenal) as guests; but the programme itself lists Mike England also.

[Sir Moses Hill]

Incidentally, I paid £35 for mine. I maybe overpaid slightly but it was to a good cause.

[blueshearer]

Thanks. Maybe he never payed in the match. Is anyone able to confirm?

Cheers

Bernie

The Irish Football Yearbook for 1966 gives team line-ups for friendly fixtures played the previous season. For this match he is not listed. The only 4 guest players are those mentioned by Sir Moses. It only lists 11 Glentoran players while it details Dukla making 2 substitutions, giving the impression that Glentoran only used the 11 players listed.

[Sir Moses Hill]

I have sent a note to one of the Glentoran players from the game and will let you know what he remembers.

[blueshearer]

Thanks Both
Helpful as always

Had a response from Eric Ross, who shone for the Glens in the 2-0 loss to Dukla and he sent me a scanned newspaper clipping reporting on the game with the headline "Five Star Performance by Eric Ross". No mention of Mike England as one of the guests, whereas it does list Jimmy McIlroy, Terry Neill, Steve Chalmers and George Armstrong. He was obviously intended to play, but seems he didn't make it on the night.

In a nice bit of coincidence, Wullie posted a photo of Eric Ross tonight in the 'Your Team in the USA/Canada since 1946' thread.

[blueshearer]

Thanks. That's excellent information. I might still try to get the programme despite Mike England not appearing.

[Sir Moses Hill]

I'm in Belfast this week and will be at the Oval tonight for our first pre-season friendly and so will make some inquiries about spares.

[blueshearer]

Thanks. Much appreciated
