CityView has a lovely feature written by Derry boss Kenny Shiels. In it he pays tribute to Bray Wanderers, their opponents, for their touching gesture of putting McBride on the cover of their match programme last weekend. He writes:
'We've been in training all week and while it certainly has been difficult, I think the boys are ready to get back to action here tonight and hopefully we can do Ryan proud and finish the job we started with him.'The programme also features Shiel's touching poem 'In Your Absence', which is dedicated to Derry's inspirational captain and leader. The poem first featured in The Derry Journal ahead of McBride's funeral service: https://twitter.com/derryjournal/status/845175992020746241 While all of the features, pictures and fond recollections of McBride would test your heart's resolve, some of the stories about a local lad that did so well and never departed from that humble spirit of his would really lift your spirits. If you are interested in downloading a digital copy of the match programme, you can simply do so here.
