This deserves a thread in just about any football forum in the world.
1001 (and counting) competitive appearances for Linfield Football Club at senior level. No other player in the world comes close to a record like that.
Legend.

THEIR HATRED IS FUELED BY ENVY, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS..................AND IT SHOWS!
I gave Bailie a shout out in the Guardian last month actually. I reckon he's the most decorated footballer in the world never to have won a cap.

Fair play to him, what age is he now ?
Ahhh
he is about to turn 40 soon..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Fair play to Noel and best of luck to him next season. Model professional.. though technically probably a model semi-pro, anyone who makes over 1000 appearances is an example to anyone looking to play the game.
pity theres not a few more like him in the 'modern' game.
