		Paul and Liam have spent quite a deal of time in each other’s company in sporting arenas since they figured on a Ballina team which lost the 1979 All-lreland Community Games U15 Basketball final to St. Declan’s of Cabra.
		Paul (27) is one of those players - there are dozens in every county - who have had frequent ’runs’ in league games but seem to have fallen by the wayside come championship time.
		McStay and McHale have come a long way together, since the late 70s when Paul was taller than Liam and dreams of basketball and football glory occupied their minds.

		Paul McStay may well fulfil a lifetime's ambition when he takes charge of Celtic this weekend, albeit in the laid-back atmosphere of a veterans' six-a-side tournament.
		McStay and Celtic, through one of the thinnest periods in the club's rich history, were inextricably linked.

		Celtic were in the midst of a five-year spell without silverware but McStay is not troubled by that chunk of his career being gilded with less glory than his talent deserved.
		McStay's attempts to forge a coaching or management career came to nothing but he has now developed a successful business in Midgibyte Creations, a creative agency involved in publishing, design, web development and event management.
		McStay admitted his new role limited his attendance at Parkhead, but he paid a warm tribute to Shaun Maloney after the Celtic forward won the acclaim of his peers by becoming SPFA player of the year.

	Keep the Faith
		No doubt Andy Walker was congratulated by Paul McStay as captain that night, and Paul had been a key figure in Celtic teams since his debut back in 1982 against Queen of the South in the Scottish Cup.
		Paul's manager was Billy McNeill and nobody can doubt the fact that Caesar had lots of occasions to congratulate Paul in his Celtic career, especially during the triumphant Centenary Season of 1887/88, when Celtic accomplished a memorable Double.
		Billy McNeill's first manager at Celtic Park was Jimmy McGrory and, although he was not a track-suit manager, he must have had opportunities to congratulate Billy, perhaps for breaking into the Scottish international team or perhaps consoling him for his part in holding England to a 9-3 win at Wembley back in 1961.

		Yet that game in itself, which saw an emerging genius called Paul McStay run the midfield and score twice while a blond-haired winger by the name of Alistair Dick simply ran the English defence ragged, told only part of the story of a truly remarkable Scottish under-15 squad.
		McStay made it 2-2 just after the restart, before John Sludden put Scotland in front for the first time.
		While McStay and Robertson became senior internationals, and others such as Dick, Sludden and Ronnie Coyle embarked on respectable professional careers, for many this was their day in the sun.

	GAA from Mayo - July 98
		Despite checking with a full jury- linesmen and umpires- and Ballina players very close to carrying out their own lynching on one Hollymount individual, the case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence and the game resumed.
		That was just after five minutes by which time Paul McGarry had opened the scoring with an excellent point after Ballina swept down through the middle with a move, inevitably started by McHale and finished by the impressive full forward from Lacken.
		Paul Keane, Noel Jennings, Kenneth Morley, Ray Conneely, Noel Conneely, Noel Stagg and John Stagg were the pick on the day.

		Meanwhile, Coventry, Southampton and QPR were, in the eyes of the press, "teams to be brushed aside by the big boys on their march towards the major trophies".
		Graham McColl lauded at length the talents of Celtic’s Paul McStay, praising not just his control of the midfield and his loyalty to the club by asking for a ten-year contract, but also his "appearance and attitude… No fancy haircuts, earrings, white tracksuits, motoring offences or raucous outbursts in the press".
		Cruyff, Platini and others made their names through outstanding World Cup performances." McStay had the similar potential, though "in his case, fame and fortune don’t seem to matter as much, but it would be a pity if a player of such immense talent were to be remembered only by his compatriots".
