What is recorded here
Jimmy Hill is a birthplace in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the footballer first learned speed and stubbornness on these streets before he ever touched a professional pitch. Maybe the sea wind carried him outward, but the town kept the shape of his beginnings. Imagine a boy running past familiar walls, already carrying the distance he would one day cover.
