Leroy Millar hopes to follow in the footsteps of legends when he captains Ballymena United in Saturday’s Samuel Gelston’s Irish Cup final with Crusaders at Windsor Park.
It is 33 years since the Braid club lifted the blue riband trophy when a cheeky Paul Hardy backheel sealed a 1-0 win over Larne at a sun-kissed Oval in 1989.
More than three decades have passed but Hardy and other key members of that squad, including captain Michael Smyth, are still revered at the Showgrounds.
