Didn't we play someone from Northern Ireland once?

Cliftonville or Coleraine I think?

We played Partick Thistle in a home friendly in the mid 80s.  I had a tutor who was a Thistle fan who was amazed to bump into the entire squad walking round Alty on the day of the game.

We've played Cliftonville on two occasions: at home in 1981 and then in Northern Ireland in 1996.

I can find no record of Alty ever having played Partick Thistle.

Did we play Wycombe Wanderers in a friendly on the eve of a Trophy final in the late 70s or did I imagine that - I vaguely recall ex Alty centre half beardie Steve Hardwick was in the Wycombe squad

Paul,

Your memory is not playing tricks upon you!

That match took place on Friday, 18th May 1979.

I've only recently managed to obtain a programme from that game, so I will have to dig it out and check for any references to Steve Hardwick.
