Cobh

Liam Amphlett RIP
Liam started off as a goalkeeper with Cobh Ramblers’ Junior side, playing up until the early 1970s. He then returned to his schoolboy roots as coach and secretary of Springfield AFC between 1975 and 1979, serving on the committee until 1984. Liam then served on the Ramblers committee and succeeded John O’Rourke as Chairman in 1999. As John O’Sullivan took on the role in 2003, Liam remained on the committee as hardworking and dedicated as ever. 
His love of coaching came to the fore once again and in tandem with Martin Donovan and John Coughlan they formed the management team of the Cobh Ramblers U17/Youths who won the League Cup in 2005 and the Youths League in 2006, as well as producing numerous first team players. Liam then went on to coach the club’s women’s side.
