"The physicality and the fact that every game is different gives you something to look forward to.' Since his spell with the ports Carney has flitted about the leagues.

Former Linfield hero wants club legend Jamie Mulgrew to finally achieve the one thing missing from CV

Mark Stafford is hoping Jamie Mulgrew can add another milestone to his impressive CV before he eventually hangs up his boots. The 39-year-old has almost done it all during a trophy-laden 20-year career at Windsor Park, but one piece of the jigsaw is still missing. Getting to the group stages in a European competition would complete the list for Mulgrew and his former Blues teammate, Stafford, wants to see him achieve it. READ MORE: Travel adviser's advice to any Brit heading to European destinations from October READ MORE: Former Portadown goalkeeper signs on at rivals Glenavon "I was speaking to Jamie during the week and said to him, he's achieved so much in his career, but the one thing he hasn't achieved is playing in a European group stage for Linfield...I really, really hope he does it," said Stafford. "The likes of Matthew Fitzpatrick, Kirk Miller, those boys have been great servants to not only Linfield Football Club but the Irish League. And I would love, really love the gaffer as well and the staff to really break that duck." Stafford played a big part in Linfield's recent success and was part of the squad that came within a whisker of qualifying for the group stages of the Europa League back in 2019. The big defender scored in successive rounds against Sutjeska Niksic and the famous 3-2 home win over Qarabag, before eventually losing out on away goals to the Azerbaijan champions in the play-off round second leg. Stafford loved being a part of those historic fixtures for the Blues and playing his part in defence alongside the likes of Jimmy Callacher, Mark Haughey, Matthew Clarke and Ryan McGivern. "The European games are very special for me, special memories," said the Ballinamallard United boss. "I was very fortunate to score a couple of goals in those big games and be involved in that history. "Against those bigger teams like Qarabag, I think they put out Dundalk in the round before that and they were big favourites going into the game. "The big thing when you play for Linfield, and especially when you're a defender in the European games, you know that you're going to be under quite a bit of pressure at times. "But you also know on the flip side of that, like we had Shayne Lavery playing that always have players that can always hurt you and put a dagger through the team's heart and you carry a threat. "And we love defending, like myself and Jimmy, 'Hawks', Ryan McGivern was up there at that time, of us boys we love to defend and we never minded defending our 18-yard line. "I just loved that part of the game in those European games when you feel you're getting camped in a wee bit. "We loved that, the challenge of keeping the ball out of the net, because we always knew up at the other end we could cause problems from set-pieces, and especially with the pace of the likes of Lavery, Waterworth and others there, you're always going to be a threat."
