The FAI have led the tributes to the former assistant manager of the Irish senior men’s team, Maurice Setters, who was struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease for the past six years. Ironically, Setters’ death was announced on the day that a movie documentary, Finding Jack Charlton, was officially released to the public. Charlton frogmarched Setters and Roy Keane into a press conference to deny reports of a training-ground row between the pair.
