Finn Harps fanatic Benny Gordon turns 97!

Finn Harps supporter Benny Gordon was celebrating his 97th birthday this weekend.

A native of Ballybofey, Benny lives on the Donegal Road, and has been an avid Finn Harps fan since the club began.

Benny is a well known face around the town and at Finn Park and celebrated his birthday draped in a blue and white scarf.

A lover of football, Benny has only ever had love for one club, and he is a member of the 500 club, the Finn Harps fundraiser, in which he has won the top prize of €300 on more than one occasion.

Benny started his working career at the Stranorlar Railway Station, but spent most of his life working for the Donegal County Council and the North Western Health Board, now HSE.

Benny’s family have taken after him for their love of the Ballybofey club, as his daughter Margaret Gordon, and grandson Callum are volunteers with the club.

Finn Harps posted on their social media to wish their dedicated supporter a happy birthday, saying:

“A very happy 97th birthday to Harps stalwart and 500 club member Benny Gordon.

“Have a great day.”
