I was lucky enough to be a pupil at the Boys' Model school during Eric Trevorrows time there. I found him to be a very good teacher and still an excellent footballer. I remember around 1965/66 Eric could hit either post or the cross bar from 20 yards at a whim.
Eric Trevorrow is my uncle - was he the coach of
the N.Ireland under 21team?
Eric Trevorrow is my uncle-lovely man. Was he the N.Ireland under 21 coach in the mid sixties?
Hi Patricia,
I don't have any record of him being involved in coaching in the NI U21 set-up. Possibly coached one of the other junior teams. I'll have a look and see if I can find anything.

I count Eric Trevorrow as the finest player ever to have come out of Scotland to Irish league football.I used to I’m regularly on Market Road as I made my way to Ballymena Academy.He was a real hero to me.I subsequently met him when I was in charge of Lisburn District school’s football and Eric was one of the coaches in the Schoolboy International setup.He was teaching in either Orangefield or Boys Model.I particularly remember a benefit match for someone and Huddersfield Town was the opposition .Eric was markingVic Metcslfe who was the England International left winger.Eric never gave him a kick -what a player.
