ANTRIM FOOTBALL TEAM
This photograph of a local football team which is unknown was taken in 1911 in an alley somewhere in Antrim. The only person known is on the left at the front and his name is Johnnie McCartney and he lived in Riverside. Johnnie was also a boxer and won numerous medals, he had a chum who was also a boxer called Victor Pollack. When WW1 broke out Johnnie like thousands of other young men raced to join up. Johnnie joined the Royal Irish Rifles as a Rifleman number 341. Sadly like all other young men Johnnie was killed in action on the fields of Flanders in Belgium on the 8th August 1917. There were many small battles fought then during the Battle of Passchendaele and ironically Johnnie could have been in the Battle of Menin Road Bridge.
