    Highland League thread

    I know very little of the highland league. Years ago I worked with a guy who’s son managed a highland league team. Hopefully the experts on here will tell me what team? The son’s name was Gordon Connelly. Was he any good as a manager in that league?

    Gordon Connelly that played for Ross County?

    He was a decent player back in the day.
    He was a youth coach at County (maybe still is?) and I have a recollection of him managing Wick Academy, couldn't, off the top of my head, tell you for how long or how he did.

    I will need to Google about him now. Haven’t got a clue how he done…I just heard his old man talk about him saying he was doing well and well thought of.

    I can't post a link, but go on to the Wick Academy website and you will get a bit of info on him.
    He managed Wick between 2014 and 2017.

    Thanks for the information. As said previously, it’s not a league I am familiar with. It’s interesting to see how someone you know well son is getting on at football or how they done as such. I had a look on Google and he is very like his old man.
