The autobiography from one of the most well-respected and admired players and managers in football, Martin O'Neill.
Martin O'Neill began his career in Northern Ireland, winning the
Irish Cup with Lisburn Distillery. He then moved to England and
joined Nottingham Forest, playing under the legendary Brian Clough,
with whom he won back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980.
O'Neill went on to play for Norwich City, Manchester City and Notts
County. He represented Northern Ireland sixty-four times and
captained the side at the 1982 World Cup, where they reached the
quarter-finals.
O'Neill moved into club management and took the helm at Grantham
Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Norwich City, Leicester City, Celtic,
Aston Villa, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest. He guided Leicester
City back to the English Premier League and twice won the League
Cup. As Celtic manager he led the club to seven trophies, including
three Scottish Premier League titles, and to the 2003 UEFA Cup
final. His stint in charge of Aston Villa saw them achieve three
consecutive sixth-place finishes in the English Premier League and
he also guided them to the 2010 Football League Cup final.
He became Republic of Ireland manager in 2013 and led them to
qualification for the 2016 UEFA European Championship for the third
time in the nation's history; they made it to the second round for
the first ever, beating the reigning world champions Germany in the
process.
