TRIBUTE: CLACH STALWART KENNEDY TAUGHT ME A LOT

I was sad to hear about the death of former Clachnacuddin stalwart Charlie Kennedy. He was my first coach at Clach when I was coming through the ranks. He was a very likeable guy and a brilliant coach. I was at Clach in 1981 and played for a couple of years. Charlie was the assistant manager to Billy Robertson at the time. Charlie was the first coach who really taught me about positional play and how to use your body to shield the ball and gain an advantage. He also played up front with my brother Dave so he had a hand in both of our careers. More recently, I would see Charlie regularly at Caley Thistle games. We won the League Cup during that period which remains a fond memory.
