his nine-year-old son Josh has been dealing with leukaemia “brilliantly” since he was diagnosed over a year ago.e's going about his business and living his life like any nine-year-old would,” he said.
While the family have been dealing with the diagnosis well, Mr Bradley came to realise his job meant he and his family will be targeted. In May 2023, following a match against Cork City FC, several Cork fans began harassing Mr Bradley’s son. “There was a number of [Cork City] fans at the local pub and they started giving myself, my wife and Josh in particular a lot of abuse regarding his illness and treatment,” he said.“It's the lowest of the low to behave in that way and say the things they said about any person, but regarding a sick young kid, it’s obviously disgusting.”Following this attack, Mr Bradley said he considered leaving his role as manager of Shamrock Rovers FC for his family.
“We had a three-hour bus journey and all the way up I was thinking ‘how do I protect Josh... if I take myself out of the position I'm in, Josh doesn’t have those things being said about him’,” he said.“[But] you can’t allow these people to win and think it’s acceptable to speak and behave the way they did that night.”
