22nd Apr 2026

Jim, current manager of Cliftonville FC and a former international player, entertained the boys with many fantastic stories. Highlights included lining up in the tunnel against Roy Keane during Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United days when Jim was playing for Southampton. He also shared valuable advice on how the boys can improve their game and continue to develop as players.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed hearing from the manager of their favourite team, and Jim certainly didn’t disappoint, as they listened to every word.

A huge thank you to Jim for generously giving his time to visit and speak with the boys. It was a truly excellent and memorable learning experience.

Many thanks also to Mr McEvoy for organising the event.
