A History of Glentoran Football Club

This fascinating talk, delivered by historian John Moore, tells the story of the formation of Glentoran Football Club. John explains why they have their colours and why there is a cockerel on their shirts. The talk also charts the history of the club, and highlights the impact of World War Two on Glentoran Football Club. 

Part of our ‘Heritage Talks’ programme:  free talks about the heritage of the local area, followed by a cuppa and a chat. Hosted by the Strand at our ‘pop-up’ venue at Belmont Bowling Club.  Made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
