The duo regaled the 350-strong audience with their stories about life with the famous club.
They were ably supported by impersonator Darren Farley, labelled the “voice of football” for his hilarious impressions of the biggest names in the game.
The event was organised by Keith Norris, from County Antrim Milk Cup Committee, with all proceeds going towards the squad who will take part in next month’s youth tournament.
