The following is a all time best Derriaghy 11 compiled by 1st Team Manager Gary Sinclair.
1. Johnny Simpson
On his day the best keeper in the amateur league. Hates to be beaten and has a good strong presence in his box
2. Mark Gardner
Mark Reads the game extremely well. Very strong in the tackle, good going foward. Mark also had great pace and used the ball very well
3. Ricky Porter
Probably the best header of the ball at the club ever. Very few people got past Ricky because of his superb timing of tackles.
4. Michael Lamont
Great organizer at the back, Very good all round game. Calm on the ball and very rarely gave it away.
5. John Torrans
Always lead from the back. Gave his all week in week out and had and tilldoes have a great desire to win
6. Ronnie Hooke
Hooky has a great left peg and could and still probably could put the ball on a sixpence. Very calmon the ball. Gave the team great balance.
7. Billy Donald
Played Irish League with Portadown and showed why over the years. Always gave his marker a hard time created plenty of goals. Under pressure just give the ball to the weeman on the wing and he could create something no one else could.
8. Keith McCracken
Great range of passes long or short he has them all. Good header of the ball and always popsof with his fare share of goals.
9. George Cullen
The best goal scorer at the club over the years. A nightmare to play against probably the same to playwith. A great desire to win.
10 Jimmy Kelly
Big Jimmy always hit around 20 + goals each season. Strong in the air and decent on the ground for a big man. Always gave his all when he pulled on the jersey.
11. Stevie Parker (Captain)
Midfield Dynamo in every sense of the word. Leads by example box to box for 90 minutes every week. All round good game
All these players have 1 thing in common a desire to win EVERY game
Thanks to Sinky for his team
