John Delaney says farewell to ‘legendary’ Milo Corcoran

FAI chief John Delaney and Ireland team manager Martin O’Neill were among the mourners yesterday at the funeral Mass for Milo Corcoran, a former FAI president who leaves “many, many legacies”.

Mr Corcoran, 65, died on Monday after a short illness. He suffered a stroke five years ago but recovered well to lead an active life and partake in the football administration tasks to which he gave much of his time.

Hundreds of people packed into the Church of St Joseph and Benildus in Waterford, the city where the Kilkenny native lived most of his life, to pay their respects to Milo Corcoran’s wife Marie, sons Evan and Alan, and other family members and friends.
