The
Legends return – It will be just like watching Brazil!
If you are planning to attend the Glentoran v Rangers XI game on Sunday why not give yourself an extra treat by coming along a bit earlier to the Oval to witness a very special game being played as a warm up to the main event.
Returning to play on the Oval for another time will be many of the Glentoran stars of the 70s ,80s and 90s.They will be playing against a team made of Glentoran fans, which will have the honour of facing their heroes whilst donning a special Brazil style kit.
It promises to be quite a day as Legends such as Billy Caskey, Johnny Jamison, Jim Cleary, Barney Bowers, Raymond Morrison and Rab McCreery will don the Green, Red and Black again and grace the Oval turf as they did in their glory years.
Others joining them will be Mark Glendinning , Tim McCann, Gary Smyth , Tommy Leeman ,Darren Parker , Gary Hillis and Andy Mathieson to name but a few.
The Legends game kicks off at 1pm with the Oval turnstiles opening at 12.30 to accommodate anyone who wants to come early to watch this special game before Glentoran take on the Rangers XI at 3pm.
So why not come along watch your heroes of yesteryear, watch some of your mates take on the Legends then watch the Champions of Northern Ireland face the Champions of Scotland. See you there!!

Photos from the trip to Israel to play Maccabi Haifa in the Champions league are now online @ the Gallery. These were taken by Tommy Sewell who has again kindly let us use his material along with the following message:
Give Oran a big thank you from all Glenmen for looking after everyone. Oran has been a Glenman for the past 11 years since we met him in Haifa back in 1998 (Maccabi Haifa v Glentoran). He supports Tel Aviv and Glentoran. He hates Maccabi Haifa and Linfield.
Legion 1882 would like to thank Oran for his hospitality towards those who travelled, of which I personally have heard first hand about, and should he ever be in Belfast, most if not all of us would love to return the favour. Glenmen here..

The website, www.irishleagueretro.com currently offers a range of different retro Irish League jerseys and is soon to offer a range of different retro memorabilia.
