Mr H -what a manager he was.
He would go out of his way to pick everyone up before the games in the minibus and make sure we all got there together. He even bought boots for players who couldn’t afford them. We won many trophies under him, but more importantly, we had a leader who truly cared about us.

His favourite saying was, “What a guy.”
Well… what a guy he really was.

Rest in peace, Mr. H.
Thank you for everything.

What a guy! Always a pleasure to be in his company while he did so much for Junior Football giving lads from all ethnic groups an organised game of football that they otherwise would not have got and he always ensured they showed proper sportsmanship.
May he rest in Eternal Peace.
Sincere condolences to Margaret, Susan and family.
