Cotter has eyes on sweet double prize

THE black adidas top with the Liver bird on the chest betrays Avondale United player-manager John Cotter’s ‘other’ footballing allegiance.

With Kenny Dalglish back in charge, things are looking up at Anfield, but it’s the Scot’s first spell in charge, when he guided them to the double in 1986 aged 35, that Cotter could emulate.

Just 33, Cotter has only been in the job since September, but has directed them to tomorrow’s FAI Umbro Intermediate Cup final against Cherry Orchard at Turner’s Cross (3pm) and they remain in the running for the Munster Senior League title.
