NI Football League shows festive spirit with a little help from Mariah Carey

Players from across the Irish League have come together to spread some festive cheer to fans this year with a late charge for the Christmas Number One!

Rivalries were put aside as 18 teams joined by a selection of referees to test their singing skills with a rendition of Mariah Carey’s classic “All I want for Christmas is you!”.

Some starring performances came from David Jeffrey, Fuad Sule, Marcus Kane and Raymond Crangle.

Mr Jeffrey showed some silky footwork off the pitch as his players belted out the classic festive tune.

Fuad and the Larne boys were getting in the Christmas spirit, while Raymond and the refs were dishing out cards, and they weren't of the Christmas variety!

And Glentoran stalwart Marcus Kane showed he might have a career in singing once he hangs the boots up as he impressively reached the notes Mariah only seemed capable of hitting!

Well done to everyone involved as this Christmas classic is one not to be missed!
