Decent player Billy, we had a half decent team when he was manager too, but, we never quite reached our potential. R.I.P. Billy.

A brilliant manager for Northern Ireland. Sadly, showed true small-mindedness in stoking the flames in 1993 when Northern Ireland was in the throes of violence and Ireland came to town for the decisive World Cup qualifier. He had been much admired in the republic for his exploits in the 1980s taking a poorly-resourced but genuinely talented squad to two World Cups. His home and away wins over West Germany - Rummenigge, Schuster, Schumacher, et al - showed that the win over Spain in Valencia was no fluke. That team had tremendous players - Martin O'Neill, Pat Jennings, Billy Hamilton, Gerry Armstrong, Norman Whiteside - but Bingham got the best out of them and more.
