NIFL chief Gerard Lawlor has given me his word… and I trust him to keep itGerard Lawlor will do the right thing but do we need another vote on Sunday football? I’ve put my trust in the Northern Ireland Football League Chief Executive. Gerard Lawlor has given me his word that no Irish Premiership club will be forced to play Sunday football. Nor will a team be sanctioned if they don’t agree with playing on a Sunday.

Being asked to join the judging panel of the Ulster Footballer of the Year Awards by the Castlereagh Glentoran Supporters’ Club is one of the great privileges of my career. Tuesday night’s event was tremendous – credit must go to event organisers Ken Moody and Bobby Carlisle. It was a pleasure to spend time with legends of the game such as Billy Humphries, Billy McAvoy, Eric Bowyer, Paul Leeman and George Dunlop.

Jordan burst onto the scene in Glens colours over a decade ago when his dazzling performances and eye for the spectacular brought him to the attention of several cross-channel clubs. He eventually signed for Swindon Town in a deal that was believed to be worth around £50,000.
