From East Belfast, McIlroy played from 1971 to 1982 at Manchester United. He was the last youth player signed by Matt Busby, therefore making him the last of the Busby Babes. He was dubbed 'The next George Best', and in his first-team debut match in 1971 at the age of 17 he scored, in a 3-3 draw in the Manchester derby against Manchester City at Maine Road on 6 November, but was not able to win a regular first-team place until the 1974-75 season. This was shortly after United slipped out of the top flight, but he helped them shoot straight back up again, finished third in the top flight a year later and also reach an FA Cup final - which they surprisingly lost to Southampton. A year later, McIlroy picked up a winner's medal as United triumphed 2-1 against Liverpool. A runners-up medal in the FA Cup followed two years after that as United were defeated 3-2 by Arsenal, with McIlroy equalising for United having been 2-0 down, only for Alan Sunderland to dramatically win it for Arsenal minutes afterwards. In the late 1970s McIlroy moved from 'Reds' striker to midfielder.where he played the best football of his Utd career. In 1982, he was sold to Stoke City, where he played the next four seasons. McIlroy went on to play at Örgryte IS in Sweden in 1986, Manchester City in 1986-87, Bury from 1987 to 1990 and Preston North End in 1989/90. As a player for the Northern Ireland national team McIlroy won 88 caps and scored 5 goals. He played in all of the country's matches during both the 1982 World Cup, where Northern Ireland defeated the host nation Spain and advanced to the second round, and the 1986 World Cup in which he captained the team Sammy MCILROY | 1976-1978 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
