There was some sad news announced last night as the former president of the FAI Michael ‘Milo’ Corcoran has passed away following a recent illness.
Mr Corcoran served as FAI President from 2001 to 2005, he also served five years as vice-president of the association.
Tony Fitzgerald, current FAI president led the tributes saying: “In Milo Corcoran, we have lost one of Irish football’s true gentlemen. It is with great sadness that I learned of his passing on Monday evening and my thoughts are with his family.”
“Milo was someone who made a huge impact on so many levels to improve football in this country and his contribution is simply invaluable.
“From grassroots, right up to being FAI president, he made a difference wherever he was and that will be his legacy.
“He will be missed by anyone who knew him and Irish football will certainly be a little poorer without him around. May he rest in peace.”
