Great player for Burnley and Northern Ireland who was Nat Lofthouse's assistant and then - for three weeks - manager of BWFC before leaving as a matter of principle having been told he had to sell players. I remember my dad being furious about it as he thought McIlroy's appointment would be the start of a new era for BWFC but it was not to be.
Bit of a legend at Burnley and also remembered for being part of the excellent Northern Ireland team that got to the quarter finals of the World Cup in 1958.
