Okay, todays teaser....
The following fabulous photo was taken by R.Clements Lyttle Studios Ltd, of 27 Donegall Place,Belfast.
The reverse suggest the keeper may be McKee ? and the suggestion is it may be 1933?
Is it Northern Ireland or an all Ireland team etc.
Can anyone name the Players or Ground? |

Fred McKee was a keeper who played for Cliftonville, Linfield and Belfast Celtic. He's a good bit earlier than 1933 though.
In fact here's a Wiki page on him with a pic that certainly looks like your man:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_McKee
And some more details on McKee
http://nifootball.blogspot.ie/2008/01/fred-mckee.html
"A rather eccentric tea-merchant by day, Fred McKee was famed for his Saville Row suit and the cigarette holder that invariably projected from the side of his mouth. He also took these flamboyant characteristics onto the football field, where he earned the nickname “Lizzie”, his tall, pencil-thin frame clad in long black stockings and topped with a red-white-and-blue hooped jersey!"
He won a few caps for Ireland and played a good number of amateur internationals. Here are all of Ireland/Northern Ireland's amateur international details:

The lack of crest on the kit suggests its not an international kit (even that far back), if I had to guess I'd suggest it's Linfield in light blue tops, but I'll leave it open to those who know better than me! |

I am grabbing you back to this photograph. I am surprise that no one has recognised the goalkeeper at least. He seems so familiar, but just cannot think who he is. He must be six four?
There was a keeper with Leytonstone and then Leyton. He broke his leg against Sterling Athletic (where Dagenham & Redbridge now play). His name was Billy McKee and I believe was an Irish International - maybe amateur level. But I don't seem to be able to locate details of Irish Amateur Internationals. His career finished in 1924. |
