Text
We mostly played football in a field on the Highfield estate till it was dark and my chum Jim McFarlane would go to the oval to watch the cock and hens as Glentoran are still known. At the age of sixteen I worked in James Mackies leaving to work a milling machine. I was asked if I would like to join the Albert Foundry Harriers.
