Martin O'Neill: The Biography

Product Information

O’Neill had been a high achiever in Wycombe and Leicester before taking on iconic status for Glasgow’s green half. In any case, the best moment was seeing the First Team go away to Barcelona for the second time in two years and again come away unbeaten, this time with a one each draw.

Kennedy and Marshall outstanding at the Nou Camp, Liam Miller’s (ultimately brief) purple patch, before he got snatched by old purple nose, McManus and McGeady both made debuts, while the likes of Jamie Smith, Ross Wallace and Craig Beattie all looked like they had something to offer.Client led briefs often lead to very interesting work anyway, or at least the offcuts and offshoot work which derives from it. However, over time, excluding McGeady none of them have hit the major heights, but they mostly all had good solid careers at a decent level. Celtic were way ahead of where all expected the club to be (helped admittedly by Rangers imploding), so season 2001-02 was to see the next stage by testing European waters.

Linked with vacant managerial post at Leeds following George Graham’s move to Tottenham Hotspur but elects to remain at Filbert Street.

I naively plowed straight through it at the beginning, now I’vegot a good idea of the routes to take. Nobody could ever be said to believe what was to happen over the next few years, and the following only covers the true emotion of Martin O’Neill’s reign in brief for the whole Celtic support. Martin’s capability relies on being an international contemporary illustrator by keeping his old school technique his strong point of recognition. Much of the season was overshadowed by the announcement that Larsson was not to renew his contract and had decided to move on. The finale of this came from Martin O’Neill’s best signing, Chris Sutton, who in injury time scored a long range goal to win us the final game of the season against Rangers.

Nottingham Forest made history at home and abroad without those involved ever knowing how fabled their run was. When Celtic played Blackburn, that was deemed a huge challenge, and even though Celtic won the first leg, a consensus from the press agreed with the Blackburn manager (ex-Rangers manager Souness) that it was “ Men against Boys” that the Celtic first team were played off the park. Martin O’Neill was there all the way, and with his team had overcome all challenges to get to the final. However, Martin O’Neill led Ireland through to the last 16 of the Euros (2016) where they lost to France 2-1, beating a second-string Italy side who still should have been too strong for Ireland. The relationship between O’Neill and the Irish football media during a five-year international tenure remains a source of fascination.You are going to West Ham and expecting to win, whereas the previous year trying to beat Bristol Rovers was a struggle. The UEFA Cup is not just one notch up from what we’re used to, we are talking about four or five notches. Resigns on December 17 after a series of clashes with chairman Robert Chase over money for team-building. His first task was to rebuild the squad, and after losing Mark Viduka (the highest profile loss) he brought in players such as Sutton, Thompson and Agathe, and later Lennon (in Dec 2000) to change both the dynamic and atmosphere surrounding the whole squad. Martin did have one thing going for him when he arrived up there in Glasgow – he didn’t need to work too hard to get fans to come to the ground.
