Glentoran Gazette, Season 2008/09, Vol 62, No 9: Glentoran v Cliftonville, 30 August 2008 matchday programme — JJB Sports Premiership; Dean Fitzgerald, Daryl Fordyce, Paddy Donnelly, Michael O'Neill

Official Glentoran FC matchday programme for the JJB Sports Premiership: Glentoran v Cliftonville, 30 August 2008, at The Oval, Belfast. An early-season JJB Sports Premiership meeting at the Oval. The cover carries a goalmouth scramble with Nixon (2) and Leeman (5) in the green. Inside, 'Dean sits in judgement' has supersub Dean Fitzgerald conceding that Shane McCabe and Daryl Fordyce are in the team on merit ahead of him — the Dubliner telling the News Letter of his frustration at warming the bench while insisting there is no animosity in the squad, and admitting he knew very little about the goal that saved the team's bacon at Ballyskeagh. 'Paddy's promise' records that up-and-coming centre-forward Paddy Donnelly was prepared to give up a sunshine holiday to make his first-team debut. Former fans' favourite Michael O'Neill, then Brechin City manager, weighs into the debate over a unified UK Olympic football side for London 2012, and early-season casualties David Scullion and Johnny Taylor are reported on the mend. Manager Alan McDonald, assistant George Neill, club sponsor FonaCAB. Cover price £2.50. Glentoran Football Club, The Oval Grounds, Belfast. The Glentoran Gazette is produced by the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923), the oldest supporters' club in Ireland, with the co-operation of the Board of Directors.
