10 years of commitment and loyalty to coach the club he loves. This man has been more than a coach; he’s been a friend. Tonight, I couldn’t be happier for him. After all the years of hard work he got exactly what he deserved—a cup win against Linfield. Thank you @Hazer1997

📸 With imagery of John McCredy McAlery so rare, we were thrilled with his descendants' generous donation of this distinctive photo of the man who brought football to Ireland some 146 years ago. An individual to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude. 🫡 ➡️ cliftonvillefc.net/2025/04/04/fam…

We are Ireland's oldest football club. The membership of the club may be making a decision in the coming months on the long term direction of Cliftonville. Please do so rationally, conscious of both our past and future and what we leave for those generations of Reds who follow.

They say leave the football before the football leaves you. I've been extremely fortunate throughout my time in football to play for great clubs and to have come into contact with so many brilliant people. All I can say is thank you to everyone who helped me along the way 🔴⚪️

Cliftonville supporters who completed a sponsored walk from Dublin to Belfast to raise money, when the club faced bankruptcy in 1987. They slept on the floors of Drogheda FC and Newry Town's social clubs over the 3 day trek.

Mark Gill and @GerryFlynn3 celebrate with the late Ron Manley after his famous goal against Linfield at Windsor Park in a 1-0 win in September 1993. Ron was firstly a Glentoran legend, but was very much loved in his time in a little corner of North Belfast.

Cliftonville & Celtic fans enter Cage terrace via Waterworks, observed by the RUC, 1984. The game was abandoned when both sets of fans clashed with the police inside Solitude. Note: the small island in the Waterworks was expanded a number of years later to aid wildlife growth.
