Dick Byrne

Guided Rugged Island to a hugely impressive run in the All Priests Over-75 5-a-side Football Match during the 1990s before his team was foiled by the underhand (pun intended) tactics of their rivals in Craggy Island in 1998. Although his fondness for signing Italian strikers may make him more suited to club management.

Kevin from the Barry's Tea Ad

Always astute in his choice of captain

Fergal Collins

As with Kevin, this would involve a switch of sports but he showed impressive skill in holding his Kildoran team together despite the multitude of problems in his players' private lives.

Terry Stoker

The uncompromising boss of an equally uncompromising Renford Razors side. Known for their brutish tactics, Stoker would maintain the physical robustness Irish football has been renowned for since the Charlton era. Despite their hard men image, his Razors side were usually the bridesmaids in the league and would always end up losing out on the final day, invariably to relegation strugglers The Renford Rejects.

Stefan Hauser

German boss known for his scholarly approach. Managed numerous clubs in Germany but is best known to Irish fans from his move to Earls Park FC at around the same time Sven Goran Eriksson took over the England job. He was sacked by erratic chairman Roger Webb in 2003.
