Man united are an English team.. & "That Glasgow team" are called Celtic FC.. who if you read Gerry Conlons autobiography he says thats his team!
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

In Gerry's book "Proved Innocent" he talks about asking a prison warden just after being moved to a new prison what the Man United score was that day, so I think it is safe to assume his favourite teams were Celtic
and
United, which is a very common occurrence.

Gerry is obviously a football fan, probably a United supporter, but like most Irish football fans he would have a 'soft spot' for different clubs on the European mainland. Benfica must be a particular team on the mainland whom either himself or Guiseppe have a liking for.

Some game last night!
Great entertainment, how come it was only 2-1?
Needed to put in a few more, might not get a better chance. The Scousers are not too bad at home these days.

Maybe putting in a Celtic flag would have been too controversial, while Benfica was a bit more neutral.

There's a picture of George Best in his United kit next to the Benfica pennant
