Biography:
A teacher by day, Billy "The Tank" McCullough's 555 appearances for Glentoran was a club record, only recently surpassed by Paul Leeman and Colin Nixon.

Born in Ballyhackamore, it was perhaps inevitable that McCullough would join Glentoran. It was however with Ards that he started his career.
