Paul O'brien steps down after 18 years
A key figure in football coaching in the Isle of Man says the time is right for him to step down.
Paul O'brien has worked with goalkeepers at St George's, the Isle of Man FA representative side and Ellan Vannin during his 18-year career on the Island, enjoying great success along the way.
But he took to social media on Tuesday to say he was calling it quits, and explained why to Manx Radio:
