MARTIN O'NEILL | Si Ferry Meets... Former Celtic Manager

[@kennethkane2864]

What a guy, worked in the boardroom at paradise, Martin turned round too quick and his elbow caught a cup of tea and spilled over him, he said “don’t worry son I’m freezing anyway” class act! Him and Mjallby, big Mjallby helped me up 4 flights of stairs with all the food for the fans in the lounge! What a team!

[@gazzabee266]

As a Rangers fan I've always had massive respect for Martin. Such an aura about him like Clough had. No doubt some of that Clough magic rubbed off on him. I could listen to him talk all day.

Fair play mate, to not acknowledge a good manager and person is just pure bitterness. I think most celtic fans would have been the same with Walter Smith

[@SL-fg1cd]

Equally, I respect Mr Smith. Has to be mutual respect, when it is deserved.

I’m a Man City fan but watching O’Neil Celtic side as a kid made Celtic my Scottish team. Larsson was something else.

Martin O'Neil is a Celtic legend and one of our best ever managers. Could listen to him all day as he is so erudite and has great stories.

Brilliant interview, I enjoyed listening to both Si's interesting questions, and Martin O'Neill speaking passionately and from the heart. I love these well thought out, calm 1:1 podcasts much more than the others where Slaney talks gibberish in Glaswegian slang and it's almost impossible as someone from Wales to understand a word he's saying

[@damien1351]

Managers like him who actually managed the whole club are gone. Managers like him, Walter smith, fergie, Wenger now replaced by specialist first team coaches.

[@dianadeville2819]

Martin as a 57 year 'Tricky Tree' fanatic, you're the business. People wonder at the present wages of footballers now, but you have been part of my life. Worth every penny. Understated yes, you so know that is true... but never over estimated. You're a God my friend.

[@amysmileyreid95]

For Celtic to secure Martin O’Neill, who’s Leicester side were ridiculously over achieving and he was constantly touted as the man to replace Ferguson at Utd, shows how high his stock was. He was linked with all the bigger jobs in England but came to Celtic. I also remember Guus Hiddink almost getting the job before Desmond stepped in

Legend. As an aside, I want Portugal to get pumped out in the next round - have never liked any team or player from their since. Ajax games were the turnaround games - that's when i started to believe.

[@kennethkane2864]

I loved him and I worked at Paradise in the boardroom, I spoke to him a lot and he was a gentleman. Hurt me when he left, don’t think the reason was 100% true, his wife was ill but all of a sudden it wasn’t long till he was in the Premiership. Maybe I’m wrong, I’ve battled with myself since he left but I still can’t forget! Just seemed wrong. Think it was our marketing dpt came up with that excuse to leave as he was idolised and that was the easy option. Just look at Rodgers when the truth was told, it caused uproar! But a genuine gentleman

[@wonjubhoy]

Geraldine was genuinely ill. O'Neill didn't take the Aston villa job until 2006. He left Celtic in 2005.

[@samuelmorrison6695]
