A Decade of Doyle: Ten years on, Daire's bond with United as is strong as ever
We caught up with Drogs' assistant manager to talk about the 10th anniversary of him first joining the Claret and Blue and his relationship with long time friend Kevin Doherty.
At the premiere of local filmmaker Conor McGuinness’s Underdrogs documentary earlier this month, compere David Sheehan asked one of his on-stage guests, Drogheda United manager Kevin Doherty about the intricacies of moving from the position of assistant manager, which Doherty had held under former hotseat incumbent Tim Clancy, to manager.
In doing so, he enquired, perhaps a little clumsily, whether or not the roles were actually as they were so often seen from the outside; the assistant playing the “good guy” and the manager being – for want of a better word, “a bollocks.”
