NOSTALGIA: Derry and Inishowen in pictures - January 1988
In January 1988 the Derry Athletic connection with English First Division side West Ham was strengthened with the signing of fifteen-year-old Brendan O’Reilly from Messines Park; due to sustained pressure from Malin Head Development Association, An Post, changed the name of the local Post Office from Ballygorman to Malin Head from January 1; and SDLP Councillor Pat Devine raised what he described as the ‘second class treatment’ of Irish people at Heathrow Airport. As ever the ‘Journal’s’ photographers were on the beat.
