Liverpool and Irish legends headed for Letterkenny

The Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny will, later this month, welcome John Aldridge, Steve McMahon, Mick McCarthy and Sammy Lee for 'An Evening with Liverpool and Irish Legends.'

Aldridge scored 363 club goals in a career that saw him line out for Newport County, Oxford United, Liverpool, Real Sociedad and Tranmere Rovers, as well as 19 goals for Ireland in 69 appearances between 1986 and 1996. He played for Ireland at Euro 88 and in the World Cup in both Italia 90 and USA 94.

He lined up for Liverpool from 1987 to 1989, alongside Mc Mahon, who played 100 games for Everton before joining Aston Villa prior to a six-year career at Anfield from 1985-91. He went on to play for Manchester City and Swindon Town and played for English on 17 occasions between 1988 and 1990.

McCarthy began his playing career at Barnsley in 1977, and he later had spells at Manchester City, Celtic, Lyon, and finally Millwall, retiring in 1992. He represented Ireland, for whom he earned 57 caps and played at Euro 1988 and the 1990 World Cup. He went on to manage a host of teams and had two terms as manager of the Irish team, qualifying for the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan and then, most recently in 2019.

Lee played most of his career for hometown club Liverpool during the 1970s and 1980s as a midfielder, and also represented England 14 times. He also had playing spells at Queens Park Rangers, Osasuna, Southampton, and Bolton Wanderers.

After retiring as a player, Lee joined the coaching staff at Liverpool before joining Sven-Göran Eriksson's England set-up in 2001. He became assistant manager to Sam Allardyce at Bolton Wanderers in 2005, and their manager in 2007. He was then appointed assistant manager to Rafael Benítez at Liverpool in 2008.
