Bangor is a Northern Ireland football club playing in the Irish First Division. The club, founded in 1918, hails from Bangor and plays its home matches at Clandeboye Park, which it shares with Ards F.C.. Club colours are gold and royal blue. The current manager is George Dunlop.
Bangor enjoyed the most successful period in their history during the 1990s when the Club qualified for Europe for the first time in its history when finishing second in the Irish League. This success was followed by winning the Irish Cup Final in 1993 after two replays against their bitter rivals, Ards F.C. Paul Byrne who scored the winning goal with the last kick of the game, moved on to Celtic.
