Condolences to the Nesbitt family

COLERAINE FC is saddened to learn of the passing of James Nesbitt…

James – the father of actor Jimmy – was a lifelong supporter of the club.

Speaking about the sad news, Coleraine Chairman Colin McKendry said:

“James got to know the players personally and travelled on the team bus to many of our big matches, including the Irish Cup win in 2018.

“Unfortunately he wasn’t able to go to many matches recently due to ill health but I’m sure he would have been proud of our efforts last season.

“Not only was James a fantastic supporter, but he was also a great sponsor and we are indebted to him.

“We would like to extend our condolences to the family circle on behalf of everyone associated with Coleraine Football Club.”
