Noel Brotherston (18 November 1956 – 6 May 1995) was an international footballer for Northern Ireland.[3]

Club career

A winger, Brotherston played in the Football League for Tottenham,[citation needed] Blackburn Rovers,[citation needed] Bury,[citation needed] and Scarborough.[citation needed]

Noel was well remembered for his characteristic hairstyle that seemed to emphasise his jinking runs down the wing. He was a fans' favourite at Blackburn.[4]

International career

Brotherston made his debut for Northern Ireland in a May 1980 friendly match against Scotland and won 27 international caps, scoring three goals. He represented his country in three FIFA World Cup qualification matches[5] and played at the 1982 World Cup.

Brotherston played in a famous 1–0 win for Northern Ireland over Israel[citation needed] that helped the team to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time in 24 years. He also scored the winning goal against Wales in 1980[citation needed] to give Northern Ireland the Home Internationals Championship trophy in the Irish Football Association's centenary year.[citation needed]

Personal life

Brotherston grew up in the town of Dundonald,[citation needed] in the east of Belfast. He lived in Bright Street, East Belfast when he was a small boy.

He became a painter and decorator in Blackburn[4] when he retired as a player. He died of a heart attack aged just 38.[4]
