The Belfast Trojans - Hall of Fame
Name: Barry Magee
Year Inducted: 2023
Position: Head Coach / Defensive Coordinator
Shamrock Bowls: 🏆🏆
Barry Magee was the first ever head coach of the Trojans and was at the helm for the first three years of its history, including guiding the team to playoff qualification in its first two seasons. At a time when the team was made up of many talented but mostly inexperienced athletes, Barry was there to turn those same athletes in to football players. His experience and knowledge from previously being a player at Loughborough, was invaluable as he laid the foundations for the later success the team achieved.
His legacy will be the development of many players who went on to take up the mantle as successful coaches themselves after learning under his tutelage. Never a rah-rah type of coach, Barry was quiet and unassuming. But he commanded respect and when he talked, players always listened, which is a testament to the high esteem he is held in Trojans circles.
