Hi All,

A friend of mine in England read an obituary in his local paper of a Harry (Henry)Orr. He was wondering if it was the same Harry that played football at home.

Has anyone heard anything at all about Harry.

Beano. I don't know if Henry stayed in England when his football career ended. I may be imagining it but I thought Henry came back to Lisburn. I don't know what makes me think this but there's something in the back of my head telling me that he worked here as a postman. Maybe someone else will know. Henry was a good looking guy, as were all the Orrs.
.

My memory points me to Tucker coming home and marrying/living in Portadown.
( I could be wrong!!!!)

Ann and L.R,

Thank you for your replies, I hope what you say is right. I remember Tucker very well, I remember when he played for Distillery along with Ciggy Magee and Eugene Mc Clinton, an all Lisburn half back line. I think Tucker was the only one of the three to play in England.!!!!!

Hi all,



Computer needed a new modem due to hackers getting into our main system, took a while but grandson attached new modem today. Glad to be in touch again.



Tucker Orr was one of our gang in East Down View in our young days, haven't heard lately of him, but will enquire of Leonard soon. Henry we called him then, he was a great mate of ours, quiet & nice looking, lived in the last house on the right hand side of the street.

We all moved to new houses in the 50's & lost touch, the Orrs went to the Longstone to live. Last I heard of Henry was him going to England to play football & years later returning to work as a postman in Lisburn.





Beano, Hope you will soon be well enough to throw away that stick., I,& everyone else, is fed up with mine & looking forward to March when I get my new knee & don't need it anymore.



Such a nuisance, mine is always falling on the tiles with a crack that puts
Joe & everyone present mad, not to mention, Finn, the dog jumping out of the way..... regularly.
