Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

I remember his brothers also , Eddie and Johnny who I think was Hilden school caretaker for a while. Sammy worked for the GNR and always went to work wearing a uniform. His father Johnny? and mother Maggie? lived at the top of Bridge Street.

He also spent a short while playing professional in England, I am not sure who for but I think it could have been Blackburn. Came back and played for Portadown for a while.
