Rip to him
Still the best first press conference in football history
The only reason I'll ever remember who Simon Bird is.
As mentioned above, whilst his time here may not be remembered well, hopefully he is. Rest well.
I think the club as a whole at the time was a shitshow which didn't help.
He didn't make things easy for himself by getting players names wrong though given he was later diagnosed with dementia you have to think if that was the first sign.
It was always a big debate as to how he was never Ireland manager, on paper he should have gotten it ahead of McCarthy but I think FAI wanted a more media friendly face which as above Kinnear was not
