James O'Brien meets Martin O'Neill | LBC

[@joebhoy182]

Love Martin O"Neil. He changed the fortunes of Celtic. That aside, most intelligent and funny man in football. Could listen to him all day.

[@Qwerty-sl3ns]

People watching this may not be aware immediately - age 72. Mind still as sharp as it was 25 years ago. Hope he is still going strong in another 25

[@Stop.making.sense.]

I could listen to Martin for days. Intelligent, insightful and sharp.

[@flyingscotsman7113]

My childhood was shaped around the Martin O'Neil celtic team that got to the Uefa cup final in 2003. Great days!

[@yaaaaaaaas75]

Martin O’Neill a Celtic legend!!

[@skinnyrides]

I watched Martin playing football in the school Quad whilst eating my lunch and he was a cut above in footballing talent. His younger brother was in my class. A true gentleman.

[@markjackson3347]

A true gentleman i moved to Glasgow the same year he won the treble with celtic glory days

[@stevemoody9299]

That’s a gem of an interview. Congratulations to you both

[@david_v2.1]

This was a fantastic interview! Thank you James

[@desmondpacassidy]

What a thoroughly interesting and wholesome trip down memory lane. Well done to both of you, great structure to the questions and eloquent recollections in responses. Wonderful... .

[@yuvraj8494]

Martin, football savvy. Very eloquent, he’s always been. His attention to details and his post match interviews were just great. Highly respectable. Disciplined and well mannered. He’s still got a lot to offer to world football and can easily outdo many current managers. Thanks James. Great interview.

[@GarthWatson]

Martin was my hero at Forest, I even learnt to copy his autograph... never used in anger!

[@paulmccarron6356]

Could listen to this man all day long

[@andytaylor4969]

Loved that you two thank you both

[@Gkirby001]

Martin's autobiography is superb. The guy's a genius. A legend for Northern Ireland as a player and Ireland as a manager.

[@heffo67]

Very interesting, a great guest. Enjoyed that, thank you!

[@dunnel58]

A pleasure of an interview. Simple prompts from James. Martin expresses a love of football and his experiences.

[@sbakernyc5761]

What a gentleman. Could listen to this man tell stories for hours

[@frankgreen1663]

If there's a better man to listen to about football I've yet to hear him...terrific

[@tomtynan7062]

Two great men - wonderful interview. Thanks for everything Martin

[@kennycelt]

What an exceptional interview of an exceptional man! ☘️

[@eddavies6666]

brilliant, thanks Guys.

[@philipk9783]

A legend

[@johncarroll772]

The Victor the greatest British comic of all time

[@patbrett3031]

I remember that debut at old Trafford!! Martin one of my all time favorite Forest players.

[@andrewhyde4708]

Martin is always wonderful to listen to. He’s also looking great and as others have said, is as sharp as ever. He is one of Forest’s greatest players. I think he was with some justification annoyed with how he was treated as Forest manager, but I hope he knows that true NFFC supporters hold him in high regard for all that he did for the club.

[@johnbhoy2489]

Loved this interview 🙌

[@davidlevy3372]

Great interview with an interesting character. From an Ireland fan.

[@Driver2616]

I remember Martin when he played for Nottingham Forest which now causes me to ask…. Am I really that old ?! 😂 Great player. Great manager who always achieved more from his teams than many “knowledgeable” football people thought they could give.

[@erikskalnins895]

What a great interview from both parties 👏👏

[@patbrett3031]

I was at Munich & Madrid. What days we had as Forest fans!!

[@thedarktowercometh9989]

Wonderful interview.

[@redtim3690]

St Martin of Glasgow.

[@tonyratton5198]

Great craic from two Legends from a Sunderland/Celtic fan.

[@atinoftartanpaint]

Martin = absolute legend

[@deeh8229]

A legend, as simple as that.

[@Pennyburn1688]

Martin O'Neils body language is very interesting when asked about boarding school.... I hope he was not exposed to the horrors that thousands of wee boys had to endure 💙🙏.

[@derekruairc334]

Excellent conversation.

[@colincampbell4261]

Lovely interview, lovely man.

[@noel9612]

Could not admire Martin 'the messiah' any more. Enjoyed this so much because he clearly was.

[@alingard1]

Great stuff! I always had a soft spot for Forrest ,cloudburst and o Neil. I think it started as a united fan in 70s and I doubt there’s many of us around that time weren’t Forrest fans. Ur enemies enemy and all that !

[@dsjwhite]

James you have such wonderful guests and Martin has been the best of them. Thank you.

[@Jamie-qk2vb]

Hail hail MON is in the house 🍀

[@AnBreadanFeasa]

O'Neill and O'Brien... along with O'Connor these were the surnames of most of the High Kings of Ireland before the Normans arrived in 1169.

[@derekruairc334]

As an O'Rourke, that particular year was pivotal.

[@AnBreadanFeasa]

@@derekruairc334 As an Ó Múrchú I agree with you 👍

[@michaelbarry8277]

The rule about not being allowed to play or attend what was known as "garrison sports" ( eg football, rugby cricket etc) was a rule of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) which is the governing body of the native Irish sports of hurling and gaelic football. The ban also stretched to attending functions organised by the governing bodies of these garrison sports. It was in existence from the GAA's inception in 1884. It was eventually repealed in 1970 as it was being largely flouted at that stage. Liam Brady was actually expelled from his Christian Brothers secondary school for playing a schoolboy international football match.

[@elzorro7of9]

Excellent viewing.

[@alanadair4893]

John Robertson was magic 😊😊

[@redmed10]

No one like him as a winger these days. A lost art.

[@nc3music920]

Martin O'Neill is a great guy. Always interesting to hear him chatting

[@thomasreilly-Guitar]

Really enjoyed that. Great stuff

[@pauldocherty403]

Best guest ever Martin a great listen

[@leonardnugent738]

Gentleman

[@patbrett3031]

Martin wasn’t given a proper chance as Forest manager but should have come over earlier when he had the chance.

[@dunnel58]

Are there more interviews like this?

[@ck6264]

Get and interview with Dr Gabor Mate

[@nigelbaines7966]

Always great to listen to Martin BUT...we (Grantham) were THREE leagues below the football league not seven!...and Gary Crosby did not win six games all on his own by any stretch. Other players Martin brought in for short cameos were Terry Curran and Alan Kennedy...can't have been too many Southern League teams to take the field with two players who had scored winning goals in European Cup Finals!

[@seaniek9175]

Two men who don't lack confidence in their ability.

[@eoinoneill4241]

I love Martin recalling Clough telling him “You’re an arrogant young man with little to be arrogant about” 😂

[@shaunthompson4979]

What was the Wolves game that O’Brien mentioned that O’Neill never seemed to ackowledge?

[@aodhan2023]

1798 rebellion Martin

[@georgel74]

Yep..😂

[@francolive5718]

Martin reminds me of Artie Ziff from the Simpsons

[@sweetbenfica4127]

You can see the pundit work dried up for Martin. Soo long winded!

Fabio and Patrick certainly know who he is😂

Dont want to talk to someone who disagrees with you? What a suprise. Speak with matt le tissier. I dare you. Or jordan peterson. Not just shills.
