Green and White Army - The Northern Ireland Fans

It’s official! Northern Ireland has the best fans in Europe – they won just that accolade in 2006. Green and White Army – The Northern Ireland Fans tells the story of the fans and the highs and lows of being part of the ‘Norn Iron’ green and white army.

It’s been a roller-coaster ride for the boys in green and white. In dark days of sectarian division when players were given death threats and during a goal famine that lasted two years, it seemed that ‘Norn Iron’ had reached their lowest ebb. Then two significant names appeared on the scene – David Healy and Lawrie Sanchez – and somehow things slowly turned around. The goal was scored, a match was won and the team started to move up the rankings, and shame turned to pride. The tide had turned for the Green and White Army.

This is the story of that remarkable journey told from the perspective of the fans.
