Bangor manager Lee Feeney has hailed veteran striker Michael Halliday as a "class act" who "probably shouldn't even be playing football anymore".
Halliday continues to defy his 43 years with his performances for the Seasiders.
Feeney says the former Glentoran striker's professionalism continues to rub off on the club's younger players, with Halliday even introducing them to ice bath therapy.

"Michael is unbelievable. If he is on the bench then he's doing star jumps in front of me to get my attention," Feeney told Belfast Live's That's What I Call Football podcast.
"He does sprints on his own after training, and then he gets an ice bath after every training session.
"He was doing the ice baths on his own for about a year or so, and now we have four or five blue wheelie bins full of freezing cold water and there are other lads getting involved.
"That's Michael's professionalism, and it is rubbing off on the others. If he doesn't play on a Saturday he is up and down doing sprints on the pitch.
"He is a class act who demands so much off himself. He is a massive influence on the squad."
Feeney added: We have a few players who have won stuff like Michael, and John Boyle who has been promoted five different times in the NIFL leagues.
"The boys have to buy into what it takes to look after themselves, like Michael and John who are a great age.
"In a way they really shouldn't be playing football. But they're so professional and you hope the other boys feed off that."
