On Days Like These: The Incredible Autobiography of a Football Legend

Product Information

Little Lien wasn't taken from her Jewish parents - she was given away in the hope that she might be saved. There is great insight into figures such as Brian Clough and life at Nottingham Forest in the 1970s. So often you see public figures climb to the top of the mountain stepping on people as they go but O’Neils generous and warm personality makes for a winning account of triumph over adversity when facing very difficult odds. He was capped sixty-four times for the Northern Ireland national football team, also captaining the side at the 1982 World Cup.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! For the first time, Martin O’Neill reflects on one of the most varied and successful football careers in the British Isles. In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. 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, beating the reigning world champions in the process. Bringing their own unique and counter-balanced personalities to proceedings they ask questions such as: what is happiness? Martin grew up in Northern Ireland with the backdrop of the troubles always lingering as part of his childhood, as a player he won the most coveted club trophy that exists and as a manager developed a reputation for creating teams that punch above their weight. He tells some good stories and gives perspective when covering Wycombe, Leicester and Sunderland but he doesn't go below the surface with Celtic and Ireland which is a shame.

When several members of the ring soon turn up dead, Billy abruptly pulls Kate out, blowing her cover. He talks about his years with Celtic, where the team won seven trophies and reached the UEFA Cup Final in 2003, and at Aston Villa, where he achieved three consecutive top six Premier League finishes. Bought this for my mum as an xmas present and to my surprise there's a big ol' sticker on the cover saying it's a signed copy!

I also liked how he talked about his relationship with various chairman at clubs he worked at which provides insight we don't hear much about in other manager autobiographies. He made his breakthrough playing for Distillery in Northern Ireland before joining Brian Clough's legendary Nottingham Forest team, becoming one of the few players who made the epic journey from the Second Division to the glory years: winning the First Division championship, two League Cups and back-to-back European Cups. Listen in as she takes six different people on a career change journey to help them figure out what work they would really love to do and create a plan of how to make that career change happen. I wonder whether it would've been better for the great man to divide this book into two tomes: one dealing with his playing career and a sequel with his managerial one. Written with his trademark honesty and humour, this autobiography is from one of the most compelling and well-respected players and managers in football, Martin O'Neill.

Martin O’Neill is widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in football with a career spanning more than 50 years. It covered his early years as a Roman Catholic growing up in Northern Ireland and following his dream of becoming a professional footballer in England.The only disappointment was that as his career progresses, particularly into management in the premiership, he doesn’t go into more depth when describing many of the characters in the dressing room, the make-up of the club and the characters involved. Along the way, they’ll unlock wisdom for those of us navigating our own coupledoms, and for those still seeking their perfect match. p>The book will take you through his career from playing in Northern Ireland to being a key part of the team that won 2 European Cups in the 70s, with George Best. Luminous, elegant, haunting - I read it straight through' Philippe Sands, author of East West Street. But Martin O'Neill makes for a delightful tour guide through his own time on and off the pitch, with the Nottingham Forest glory days raked over for the finer details, as is his experience in more recent times with the Republic of Ireland.

it explains a lot of things especially that episode surrounding his abrupt departure from Aston Villa which, I have to say, left me wondering at the time and thinking that possibly he wasn’t well or something? Written with his trademark honesty and humour, On Days Like These is one of the most insightful and captivating autobiographies and a must-read for any fans of the beautiful game. Being a supporter of one of the clubs managed always makes for an interesting read, but the rest of the book is just as interesting. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.Martin O'Neill started his career in Northern Ireland, but moved to England where he spent most of his playing career with Nottingham Forest, with whom he won the European Cup twice, in 1979 and 1980. The taverna is the only place that Kostas and Defne can meet in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic and chilli peppers, creeping honeysuckle, and in the centre, growing through a cavity in the roof, a fig tree. O'Neill has managed Grantham Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Norwich City, Leicester City, Celtic, Aston Villa and Sunderland. Listened to this on audiobook and that really enhanced the listening experience as it was narrated by O’Neil himself.
