Nailing it!

Part One of our “Game of Two Halves”

It’s late summer now and the football season has begun again - from the Premier League to the many amateur soccer associations.

To mark it I spoke to two super-fans of the game in Bangor. Peter Vannucci was one of the original players with Bangor Swifts and for many years, their chronicler. Alan Dempster joined his team, Bryansburn Rangers, as a teenager when the club was well-established and played a record number of times for their teams before becoming Club Chair.

Both clubs celebrated their 50th anniversaries in the last four years so I joined them for a chat about football past…and present.

This is the first part of our conversation…and remember, “no-one is bigger than the club!”

Part Two following shortly!
