Liam Daish, (born September 23, 1968). is an Irish former football player, he is the current manager of Nationwide Conference team Gravesend. Despite being born in England, Daish, like a number of others, played internationally for the Republic of Ireland; in all he earned a total of five caps for his adopted country.

Daish, a centre-half, began his career with his hometown club: Portsmouth. However, he only made one appearance for the club. He left the club in 1989 in search of first team football, which he found at Cambridge United. Whilst at Cambridge, Daish helped the club the successive promotion from the Fourth to the Second Division. The quality of his performances for the club inspired Birmingham City to purchase him for a fee of £500k in the summer of 1992.

Daish spent four years at St. Andrews, during which time he made his international debut. Barry Fry, who managed him for most of his spell at Birmingham, once said of Daish that if a squadron of F-111s attacked the Birmingham penalty area he would attempt to head them away. This comment accurately sums up Daish's reputation as a defender: very tough and good in the air, but lacking somewhat in subtlety.

In the summer of 1996, Daish joined Coventry City for a fee of £1.5m. In the four seasons that he spent at Coventry, Daish was never a regular in the first team (he played in only 34 games for the Sky Blues). This was the result of a severe knee ligament injury which eventually forced his retirement from the professional game.

He joined non-league Havant & Waterlooville in 1999, serving as both a player and joint-manager alongside Mick Jenkins. He spent three and a half years in this role, during which time he took the club to the semi-final of the FA Trophy in 2003, before being sacked in January 2004 following a string of bad results. Following this, he joined Welling United F.C. as a coach. For a time, following the dismissal of Paul Parker, Daish served as caretaker-manager of Welling but did not get the job full time, despite leading the side to three wins and a draw in his four games in charge.

Daish left Welling in February 2005 to take the manager's job at Gravesend

sounds like he has a pretty decent record if im honest. could be worth a punt although lack of league experience in management could be a bad thing

I remember when Liam Daish and Alan Kimble played for Cambridge United when they had a storming season in 91/92..... Dion Dublin emerged from that same squad. They made the Championship Play-Offs that season - finishing above the P-O winners Blackburn on GD.

Daish went onto the Premiership and Rep. of Ire caps but he was injury prone... and Kimble played alot of games for Wimbledon.

Paper must've got wind that they've applied - can't say it fills me with excitement though, but again preferable to Adie.

they could be just what we need though. we don't want another high profile manager thats going to fuck off after 6 months do we? they could be the next young management supreme just like Tilson was at Southend. may not be exciting but may work and if so then who cares?

[red macca]

curbishly and gritt were relitavly unknown aswell was,nt they?

im not to sure what to think of this i think a big name could just fuck us over again but on the other hand its vital we get the right person now as we need to get out of this league tbh

Interesting this....one thing is certain no one on our Board would have the slightest idea who these two were.....and there is no obvious connection to the club.

   They are ex Wimbledon, so perhaps Wise may have put in a word.  The word hoof springs to mind.

 Sure was.....the most bizarre side I've ever seen...Daish and Kimble were hoofers in chief.

   I seem to recall Kimble playing shedloads for Wimbledon.....maybe Daish went somewhere else?

Daish played for Birmingham and Coventry.

daish used to live opposite my mates house in billesley birmingham, top bloke with a well fit missus, he also owns 2 fuck off huge dogs, this obviously makes him great management material.

 You'd imagine that would be their favoured style, but we are in L2 and as such, have to accept the play will at times be agricultural.

Not necessarily, Reg. Martyn Starnes, made a director on Friday, is also manager of Sherborne, so probably has a decent knowledge of the non-League scene. Let's hope it doesn't become too relevant, eh?
