The Feeney Footballing Family.

Warren Feeney is one of four generations of professional footballers from his family. His grandad played for Swansea City and Ipswich Town in the 1940s and 50s, his dad was a prolific scorer for Glentoran, and his son has just started out being coached by Warren himself.

Growing up in Belfast all Warren knew was football. He moved to Leeds United as a teenager and struck up a strong friendship with Premier League legends Robbie Fowler and Harry Kewell.

Moved to Bournemouth and Stockport County kickstarted his career which saw him play in the Football League for over a decade.

As well as domestic honours he was also capped by his national team 46 times, playing in famous wins over England and Spain at Windsor Park.

Not content with playing, Warren has also paved himself a successful career as a coach in Northern Ireland, Wales, England and Bulgaria. There are plenty of tales in this one.

This is the story of Warren Feeney.
