Records of Northern Ireland managers

I was looking at the stats that Wikipedia has for all the
managers who have managed the IFA-run Ireland/Northern Ireland
teams,
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_national_football_team#Coaching_history
Primary purpose was to see how Ian Baraclough's win record
compared to previous managers. The answer is slightly worse than
Nigel Worthington but better than Sammy McIlroy.
But I thought there were a few records that were interesting:
- Highest win percentage: Billy Bingham 40.00% (1st spell as
manager)
- Highest draw percentage: Billy Bingham 31.63% (2nd spell as
manager)
- Highest unbeaten percentage: Lawrie Sanchez 65.63%
- Most goals per game: Bertie Peacock 1.64
- Least goals conceded per game: Terry Neill 0.90
And the bottom 3 for most losses is:
1. Sammy McIlroy 58.62%
2. Peter Doherty 54.90%
3. Dave Clements 54.55%
Hopefully whoever the new manager is can replicate the successes
to Bingham and Sanchez and leave McIlroy's record intact!

That's a nice stat considering the groups we were in during his
tenure.

If he had stayed for 3 more matches, he could have been even
higher as our next 3 matches were Liechtenstein, Latvia and
Iceland. We were better than all 3 of them on paper at the time.
We missed out on Sweden by 6 points in the end, so he could even
afford to lose 1, draw in Sweden and win 1 for us to have
qualified for that tournament on the head to head v Sweden.
