Product Description

Review
"'A good, detailed account of the man who comes across as a complex, eccentric and driven character' The Times 'An absorbing read, thoroughly researched, entertainingly written' Belfast Telegraph"

Product Description
Martin O'Neill is one of the most brilliant, successful and intriguing of the new manager/coaches to emerge from British football. Alex Montgomery's acclaimed biography brings O'Neill's story right up to date with an account of his first few months in charge at Aston Villa and deals with every aspect of his life and remarkable career from the early days as a player in Northern Ireland to his joining the tyrannical Brian Clough at Nottingham Forest. From non-league Grantham Town via Shepshed Dynamo and Wycombe Wanderers, to Norwich City, Leicester City and Celtic, where he broke the Rangers monopoly of Scottish football, to respected BBC pundit and a new role at Aston Villa, the book chronicles O'Neill's managerial triumphs. Montgomery offers a rare insight into the beliefs, lifestyle and ambitions of this private and complex football man.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre account of a fascinating life, 6 Mar 2004
By Seamus Sweeney "reader" (Dublin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This reads like a load of feature articles lazily clumped together. Badly written feature articles at that. There's room for a wonderful book on this fascinating, complex man. Some interesting nuggets (Martin O'Neill attended the Fred West trial, having a lifelong interest in true crime) but Montgomery never develops anything. Lots of punters speculate on what drives Martin O'Neill but nothing substantial.

Oh, and its very out of date (ending before Celtic vs. Liverpool in the UEFA cup last year)

1.0 out of 5 stars A real proper mish mash, 18 Sep 2008
By Mr. A. C. Stephenson "Weaver" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As hinted by the previous reviewer, this book is not worth buying in my opinion.

The author seems to flit from one topic to the next without too much warning. Again, as the previous reviewer mentioned, the book seems to be a collation of articles and references, which are loosely connected to the subject matter and seem only to be included to thicken and pad out the book. Do I need to know about Martin De Porres!?!?

I feel that the real guts of the book have been lost in this "padding".
