Bertie Nixon came to prominence with the all-conquering Ballyclare Comrades side of 1960/61, claiming all the available intermediate honours and reached the Irish Cup semi-final.

He moved on to Glenavon where he added Amateur caps to his collection, appearing in a famous win over England.

In the 1970s he coached Linfield Swifts, even taking the opportunity to take the field during a player shortage.

His father Tommy had been a champion bowler, and with his football days behind him, Bertie also took up the game. In the late 1980s/early 1990s he represented Ireland.
