British Protestant Loyalists marching this week in Scarborough England. People do not realise that outside Northern Ireland there are tens of thousands of these guys all over England and Scotland. Right Wing, Conservative and ferociously British to the core.

OTD: ANTON ROGAN BORN On this day in 1966, former Sunderland defender Anton Rogan was born in Belfast. Hailing from the West Belfast area of Lenadoon, Anton learned his football trade as a youth at St Oliver Plunkett FC, whilst also playing Gaelic football for St Paul’s, and joined the big time with Distillery. Despite suffering two leg breaks, his career progressed and he achieved his boyhood dream of playing for Celtic when he signed on 9th May 1986, aged just 19. His debut came the following January, when Hamilton Academical were beaten 8-3. Usually a left back, he also played on the left side of central defence. His 128 league games included those that helped the Bhoys take the league and cup double in their centenary year of 1988. During his Celtic days he won his first caps for Northern Ireland but the fact that he played for Celtic meant that he faced sectarian abuse and chants from so-called fans when he played. When Neil Lennon faced similar problems, Anton commented that he silenced the "boo boys" with his first tackle against Poland, "My first tackle put a poor Polish lad a mile high.". He only managed one international goal but it went in at the wrong end, as he opened the scoring for Spain in a World Cup qualifier in December 1988. There was another cup win with Celtic in 1989 and a third final in 1990. However, this one, against Aberdeen, ended 0-0 after extra time (Anton having obviously done his defensive duties well) and went to penalties. After nine shots each, the score was eight apiece and, up stepped Anton, who missed, leaving Aberdeen’s Brian Irvine the chance to win the cup with his kick, which he did. There weren’t many goals but his most celebrated was the opener in a 3-0 win over Rangers in 1991. After five years at Celtic new boss Liam Brady decided that Anton was surplus to requirements and, much to the player’s disappointment, accepted an offer of £350,000 from Sunderland manager Denis Smith. Anton joined other recent arrivals John Byrne and loanee Peter Beagrie as Smith looked to bolster our squad in the push for promotion. He quickly became a popular player, using his strength, pace and ability in the air to dominate opponents. According to his contemporaries, he was a proper character off the field and he featured in all eight of our FA Cup ties as we reached the final in the 1991/92 season. A calf injury to John Kay robbed Anton of his usual full back partner for the final against Liverpool, with Gary Owers filling in, but we lost 2-0. Even so, Anton and the rest of the Sunderland team, were erroneously presented with winners’ medals and held onto them for about twenty minutes until the mistake was rectified. Not long before that final, he’d scored his only Sunderland goal, a bit of a screamer and the fourth in a 2-2 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion, just after the half hour. Anton was back in the side the following season but a broken leg in a 5-2 defeat at Peterborough United (remember the song about the referee, to the tune of Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen? Ask your dad) meant that was his 57th and last Sunderland game. In the summer of 1993, we accepted £250,000 from Oxford United, where he spent the next two seasons, playing 58 league games before invoking his personal two-year rule and moving to Millwall, where his old Celtic teammate (and future Sunderland boss) Mick McCarthy was in charge. Another two years and 36 league games brought eight goals, a decent return for a defender, before he switched to Blackpool. After only two games, he suffered an injury that ended his season and, on recovery, he stayed for another season before retiring. After football he settled in Oxfordshire to run a taxi company in Woodstock and regularly appeared in charity matches and testimonials like a good ex-professional.

Welsh fans booing "God save the Queen" before singing Hen Wlad fy Nhadau, Cardiff Arms Park, 1968. It was routinely booed by Welsh fans until the change to use the proper Welsh national anthem was made officially in the 1970s.
