Gary Haveron led the club to a third Gibson Cup success in four years
Leroy Millar insists Larne boss Gary Haveron should have a “statue built for him” after the Inver Park boss led his hometown club to the league title.
The newly-crowned champions began the season surrounded by uncertainty, with Kenny Bruce selling his majority stake, Shaun Want returning to Scotland, captain Cian Bolger ruled out for the campaign and manager Nathan Rooney gone after just one Premiership game.
But Haveron stepped into the breach and turned chaos into a coronation, and midfield star Millar was only too happy to heap the praise on the 45-year-old.
“He has been absolutely unbelievable. He has been here a very long time and is a Larne man through and through,” he said.
“I am buzzing more for him than anyone else. Even during his pre-match talk he was nearly in tears as it means so much to him.
“Get the statue built for him!”
Humble Haveron (left) felt the club’s third Gibson Cup success in four years was built on collective grit and determination.
“We dug in, it was a far from straightforward season,” he said.
“We were written off by so many people, and that maybe worked in our favour as we were able to get on with our work.
“The boys got everything they deserve. This was a hard title to win, there is no doubt about it.”
