Longford’s Gillespie enjoys winning start

FROM the heights of St James’s Park, Old Trafford and international football, to a midlands derby in the Airtricity First Division, Keith Gillespie has seen soccer at all levels in his interesting career.

The 36-year-old made his debut as a sub for Longford Town in their 2-0 victory over Athlone Town on Saturday night after being out of the game for a while but showed he is still hungry for action.

“When you’ve been out of the game for three and a half months, it’s difficult at times,” he said.
