A special day is in store for Steven Douglas as Linfield supporters prepare to pay tribute to the 44-year-old who served the club for a decade under former boss David Jeffrey.
Douglas, who retired from Irish League football at the ripe old age of 43 last summer, made 266 appearances for the Blues between 2003 and 2013.
He joined the Big Two giants from Portadown and went on to win a raft of medals, including four Irish League titles, before concluding his career with Coleraine.

A Linfield Legends v Irish League Legends game will kick-off proceedings at 4pm on Saturday followed by an evening of music and entertainment at Jumna Street Linfield Supporters Club.
Players confirmed for the legends game at the Hammer Complex (situated on Agnes Street, just off the Shankill Road) include several of Linfield’s famous Clean sweep side.
Noel Bailie MBE, Jim Ervin, Paul McAreavey and William Murphy will line up alongside the likes of Mark Picking, Tony Gorman, Robert Garrett, Chris Kingsberry and Alan Blayney.
Two Irish League managers - Glenavon’s Gary Hamilton and Carrick Rangers boss Stuart King - are also set to play as are Ivan Sporule, Paul Leeman and Eoin Bradley.
Admission for the game is £3 and is payable at the gate.
Tickets for the evening event in Dougie's honour, with music provided by DJ David Ashe, are priced at £5 and payment is also available at the doors which open at 7pm.
A framed Linfield shirt, worn by Douglas in the 2011 Irish Cup final win over Crusaders, will be auctioned on the night and a ballot will also be held for a number of Linfield-themed prizes.
Please note that £5 gets you entry to both events on Saturday, June 11.
