Martin O'Neill: Trophies, titles and missing out on the FA Cup

Raised in an Irish Catholic family as one of nine siblings,
Martin O'Neill was brought up with Gaelic football but he dreamt
of becoming a professional English footballer. At 18, he was
scouted by Nottingham Forest and quit his law degree to sign for
the club. He went on to become an integral part of Brian Clough's
legendary Nottingham Forest squad, winning back-to-back European
Cups, and made history as the first Catholic player to captain
Northern Ireland's national team.


After hanging up his boots, Martin achieved remarkable success as
a manager, leading Celtic and Leicester City to major titles and
taking the Republic of Ireland to the knockout stages of the 2016
Euros. He is now the chairman of the League Managers Association
and co-hosts the Global podcast The Football Authorities with
Clive Tyldesley. You can listen to The Football Authorities here:
