The only problem is I’ve been so busy winning matches I haven’t had time to do it!” O’Neill was making the point that managers are judged by the matches they win and not necessarily for the team’s style. He is a clever man but even he could not have anticipated the success achieved during his short time in charge. ” He later wrote his own well-received autobiography, and in 2023 he was given the honour to bring the Scottish League trophy onto the pitch to be presented to Celtic manager Ange Postecoglu on the presentation day at the end of the season. As an avid scavenger of ephemera, Martin O’Neill’s glorious compositions begin long before he assembles them as images.

September – O’Neill gives his support to club chairman John Elsom in the wake of the Filbert Street power struggle.A season never to be forgotten, and Martin O’Neill’s place in this experience can never be downplayed. I’ve honestly missed it so much. Seriously. My wife, who hated every place she’d been to in her life, absolutely loved it in Scotland. If she ever goes to heaven – which she won’t – she’d complain about that as well…But she loved it here and I was the same. It was great. You’d wake up and look out the window and not know if it was June or October. But that didn’t matter to us coming from Northern Ireland.” March – O’Neill’s long-term future remains unresolved after the club denied reports he is set to sign new contract.

Client led briefs often lead to very interesting work anyway, or at least the offcuts and offshoot work which derives from it. Personal work & commissioned work feed each other & there’s no real difference for me regarding what kind of visuals I use. Rumours abounded about his personal family circumstances, and at the year it was made publicly know that his wife was suffering from lymphoma. In effect, he was hardly around and it showed. Didn’t help that this was Celtic’s first season without Larsson (as he’d left for Barcelona), but Celtic really should still have won the league and disturbingly lost with only a few minutes left of the last game of the season, allowing a poor Rangers side to gloat forever more (albeit the title is now tainted and should be scrubbed due to the EBT scandal revelations).
