It was always going to happen at some stage 👏

Linfield Academy graduates Braiden Graham and Ceadach O’Neill have both been selected for the Northern Ireland Senior Men’s squad 💙

They join the five other former Bluemen for friendlies against Guinea and France.

Congratulations to former Blue @hume_trai, who scored a vital goal to secure Europa League football for @SunderlandAFC 👏

All five of Trai’s European appearances to date came for Linfield during the club’s 2021/22 qualifying campaign 🌍

@JohnSte_author @chippie1974 This is a good recommendation.

[Every Other Saturday @eosblues]

@GrahamBrownlow He proof read this book, though he was not a Blueman. Was an uncle who was always generous with his time and always encouraging.

It is more than 40 years since I was taught by Rodney Brown (Mr Brown we called him - he later became doctor). I remember him well.
The remainder of his 10,000 book collection will be sold tomorrow (Sat)

Remembering today on the first anniversary of his passing our friend Gary Galbraith. He was the go-to man for details on matches, players but above all else was a friend to many & an absolute gentleman

Miss you Gaz

It has been well documented this season about the contribution that Terry Hayes has made to Linfield Football Club in his 5️⃣0️⃣ seasons at the club as player and sports therapist.

Last night, Terry was honoured with a presentation made by Linfield Club President, Peter Lunn MBE.

Terry retired from his role at the end of the season, stating what a huge honour it has been to work for the club and play his part in our history. The Skipper, Noel Bailie MBE, also thanked Terry during his Setanta Cup Q&A. Noel said that without Terry, he wouldn't have been able to play those 1,013 games for the Blues.

Thank you, Terry 💙

A presentation was made to Linfield Club Photographer, Colin McMaster, last night to recognise his contribution to Linfield Football Club as a volunteer.

Colin, who has been photographing Linfield for over 3️⃣0️⃣ years, spoke about what an honour it has been and continues to be, capturing the clubs' history as well as being able to shoot some incredible players over the years, including his personal favourite, Dessie Gorman.

Well done and thank you, Colin 👏

Former Linfield defender William 'Winkie' Murphy has been awarded the prestigious Torrans Trophy, becoming the 18th inductee into our Hall of Fame.

Murphy made over 600 appearances for the club and was a cornerstone of one of the most successful Linfield teams in history—widely regarded as one of the greatest sides ever to grace the local game.

Thank you for your service to Linfield Football Club, Winkie 💙

Last night, Ivan Ogborn — a devoted Linfield supporter for over 50 years — was honoured with the prestigious Linfield Merit Award in recognition of his exceptional service and unwavering commitment to the club as a volunteer.

Ivan’s dedication to Linfield is the stuff of legend. He has followed the Blues across Europe, famously being the sole supporter to make the journey to the Faroe Islands and one of the renowned "Baku Three" who braved the long trip to Azerbaijan.

Throughout the decades, Ivan has played a vital role behind the scenes — from helping players raise funds for their testimonial seasons to raising money for charity with pride and passion. His loyalty has never wavered, standing by the club through every high and low.

As he accepted the award, the room rose to its feet in a standing ovation. Ivan closed his heartfelt speech with a simple, powerful declaration:

"𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 '𝗧𝗶𝗹 𝗜 𝗗𝗶𝗲."

[Linfield FC @OfficialBlues]

A day we will 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 forget.

With the 2⃣0⃣ year anniversary of our historic Setanta Cup win approaching, David Jeffrey MBE and the rest of his legendary squad will be doing a lap of honour before kick-off at our last home game of the season tomorrow 👏🏆
