Bernard McNally

Bernard Anthony McNally (born 17 February 1963) is a former Northern Ireland international footballer who played in midfield.

After taking an early lead in front of a 28,000 crowd, Hednesford were unlucky to lose 3–2, with McNally playing an important role.

Despite some early indifferent form, McNally's side soon rose up the table, eventually finishing third in the league and qualifying for the play-offs.

Telford were to beat Kendal Town 2–1 in the playoff final, in front of a league record crowd of 4.215 at the New Bucks Head.

With the club second from bottom midway through the season, and following considerable pressure from fans, McNally was sacked, later to be replaced by Willenhall's Rob Smith.

McNally was appointed by Indian club, Pune FC as head coach in February 2008,[4] a post he held until May 2008.

McNally's final match was a 2–0 win against Port Talbot Town, which left Newtown in 5th place in the early season table.
