In 60s London dad from Galway helped build the roads and infrastructure, whilst mum from Leitrim kept people alive Glad New York still remembers their Irish so fondly.☘️

This is so nice to hear. My parents came to England, one from Galway the other Leitrim, worked jobs maybe others didn’t want/need. Wouldn’t it be nice to be spoken of/ celebrated like this in London. All those Irish who contributed not forgotten, certainly not in New York. ☘️❤️

🇾🇪 The Legendary Norman Whiteside
Norman Whiteside grew up on the Shankill Road in Belfast during the height of The Troubles. At around seven years old he was already scoring ten goals in a single game against boys almost twice his age. The talent was there for all to see.
He was spotted by Bob Bishop, the same legendary scout who had brought George Best and Sammy McIlroy to Old Trafford. United moved quickly. A few days before Whiteside was old enough to sign schoolboy terms with United, he was offered a trial at Liverpool, causing United's chief scout to fly over to Belfast to immediately offer him the schoolboy contract. But there was no need for panic. There was only ever going to be one outcome.
What few people know is that when that call came through confirming United's interest, Norman was standing in the Oval Office in the US. One Monday he was at the Theatre of Dreams, and the next Monday he was in the Oval Office with President Jimmy Carter.
He made his United debut in April 1982, still only 16, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mike Duxbury against Brighton, becoming the club's youngest first-team player since Duncan Edwards in 1953. A few days later he scored his first senior goal against Stoke City. Then, that same summer, came something even more extraordinary. At 17 years and 41 days, still not legally old enough to buy a drink from his local off-licence on the Shankill Road, he displaced Pelé as the youngest footballer ever to appear at a World Cup. The record still stands today.
Back at Old Trafford that season, he didn't just survive at the highest level, he thrived. He missed only three of United's sixty games in 1982/83. In the League Cup final at Wembley, with millions watching, the 17-year-old beat Liverpool centre-half Alan Hansen to score, becoming the youngest scorer in that final's history. United fans started calling him the "Scourge of the Scousers." Then came the FA Cup final replay against Brighton, where he became the first player of any age to score in both domestic cup finals in the same season. He was 18.
