Larne FC

The club from a small town on the Antrim coast became champions of the Northern Ireland Premiership last night. The first title in their history and the first for a club outside the "big hitters" from Belfast in over twenty years. Previously probably only really known as the team that produced Mal Donaghy, they are bankrolled by Purple Bricks co-founder, Kenny Bruce and have come from the second division to champions in five years. I have close mates from Larne, which is why I take and interest, by the way. Bruce had promised Champions League football within five years, and has kept his promise (mind you, it is a fair bit easier in NI - the figure of £5m is mentioned as his investment so far) - well CL qualifiers anyway.

    Perhaps TS should have bought a Northern Irish club, would have been cheaper for him and much easier to achieve his European dream.

    Minute he tried that guitar stuff on the pitch, it would have been grabbed & added to the annual bonfire.
