I have an Irish Football Association cup winners medal. It is inscribed with the name J Seymour and dated 1907. I don't know how this came into my family as it has been passed down to me from my father's side of the family. I know that my great grandfather Jamie Clarke was heavily involved in the IFA in the early 1900's and I also own a gold watch presented to him from that era. I would like to know the connection between the medal that I own and my great garndfather.

what a team! 131 years old and 3 league titles,some record. so on average you get to celebrate a league win every 44 years ha ha ha.whereas Irelands biggest club LINFIELD are about to be only the second club in world football to win 50 league championships,you and the gurns are forever in our giant shadow.

with £600,000 of ifa money every year a team would be expected to win the league at the very least but with that help a treble should be on every season.

4got to add with strong help from 3 matchday officials,always feels like blues have 14 men on pitch.
if ur honest u'l admit it linfield.
is that a paradox..askin blues to be honest obout dishonesty?
