Talking of Man United and famous Belfast people..I left out Norman Whiteside. Norman is famous for the 1982 world cup in Spain where he became the youngest player to play in a world cup breaking Pele's record.

Belfast also has some other famous people. There was a 'Hard Man' called Buck Alec. Now Buck was famous for lots of reasons. He loved a good tear up, rubbed shoulders with Al Capone in prohibition. But he is mostly remembered for having two lions as pets and would he would often take them for walks on a leash. In the North of Ireland, there are silly laws that allow you to keep wild animals as dometic pets...

There was also another two very famous Hard Men. Stormy Weather and Silver McKee. One was Catholic and the other was protestant and they would sometimes knock on each others doors during the '50's just for fight. Sometimes Stormy won and sometimes Silver won. But at the end of each fight they would go to the nearest watering hole and down a coulpe of three pints of the black stuff. And remain good friends.

Another thing about Silver, he was at one time the body gaurd of Robert Mitchum....
