What is recorded here
Sam Kirkwood is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who became a footballer first ran barefoot through wet streets, learning speed and stubbornness before he ever touched a ball. Maybe the city gave him its shape, its noise, its endless rain, and he carried all of it into every match he played.
Why this person is known: footballer (1910-1980)
