Note: On 11 March 1959 Tully, together with four other Celtic players, signed a short-term deal with Rangers to allow a Rangers/Celtic XI to play Caledonian FC in a friendly to mark the turning on of their new floodlights. This was due to Scottish FA rules requiring all players fielded by a club to be signed to that club. Therefore, this was a Rangers team with Celtic players as guests.

Coaching Career:
Cork Hibernian player-coach-manager (from 13 October 1959)
Bangor manager (7 January 1964 – 29 April 1965 (resigned))
Portadown manager (16 December 1965 - 16 September 1966 (resigned))
Bangor manager (30 January 1968 – 27 July 1971 (died))

Biography: 
"Do you enjoy playing for your country, Mr Ramsey?" asked Charlie. "I do, Mr Tully," replied the ever-polite future knight. "Make the most of it today, then," came back the irrepressible Irishman, "it might be the last chance you get."

During the 2-2 draw, Tully swerved a corner kick from the left (he took them with either foot from both sides) past the astonished and unbalanced Gil Merrick in the England goal.
