JIM MCCONNELL is one of the most powerful men in Irish football, not that you’d know it from the demeanour of the unassuming Buncrana native.
The Chairman of the Football Association of Ireland’s Domestic Committee and a member of the ten-man FAI Board of Control, McConnell is at the coalface of Irish soccer’s decision making.
