New name to be inducted into Cliftonville's Hall of Fame

A new name will be inducted into Cliftonville's Hall of Fame this weekend.

They will join 16 other people who have been bestowed with the honour, including the Reds' 1979 Irish Cup heroes, former striker Chris Scannell and the club's founding father John McCredy McAlery.

The Hall of Fame is named in honour of McAlery, and was established to celebrate the achievements of Cliftonville's greatest ever players, managers, coaches, staff, boardroom members and volunteers.

The club said: "The identity of this week’s addition will remain a strict secret until the moment their entrance is announced, however they are assured to find themselves in the most esteemed – if not necessarily plentiful – company.

"For just 16 people currently hold Cliftonville Hall of Fame status, with our 1979 Irish Cup heroes joining Chris Scannell and the eponymous McAlery in the distinguished assembly, which was established back in 2014."

The new inductee will be revealed at Saturday's annual awards night.
