Derry, Civil Rights and Johnny Crossan

With Shane Duffy captaining Ireland last night was up in Derry City a fortnight ago interviewed Johnny Crossan.

Banned as a teenager from all football ended up marking Alfredo Di Stefano of Real Madrid in a European Cup Semi Final.

Great city, lovely people by the way.

The older Sunderland supporters speak very highly of Johnny. I remember reading an article a couple of years ago saying that he was still playing football and he had a five a side pitch at the back of his pub in Derry not sure if this is still the case?
