Albert Weir
Albert Edward "Ned" Weir is a Northern Irish footballer who played for Belfast Celtic from 1926 to 1929. He came from Sydney Street (just off the Shankill Road) and started his football career with Junior side Brantwood F.C. before moving onto Westend FC (another Junior league side), which he captained until his move to Celtic in 1926. Better known as "Header Weir", he earned 6 Irish caps at Junior level. Ned played in the Celtic squad that brought a string of trophies in what were later to be known as the magical seasons of the late 1920s.
After the 1928 - 1929 season, "Ned Weir" went on to play spells with Coleraine F.C. and Dundalk F.C.
