The only ‘legends’ who should have been invited were ex Northern Ireland soccer internationals.
Once it was decided to extend invitations to some famous fans the IFA left itself open to criticism, as there will always be people prepared to play the victim, considering themselves more famous than they actually are and perhaps claiming to be fans when they may not be.
Were the following people invited? Phil Coulter, Willie John McBride, Tony McCoy, Jimmy Cricket, Oisin McConville, Van Morrison. Perhaps they were invited but if not they also could be aggrieved.
