European Cup winner Martin O’Neill reflects on his career in football at The Drill, Lincoln

European Cup winner Martin O’Neill reflects on his life and career in football in an evening at The Drill, Lincoln.

He will be interviewed by radio and television presenter Matt Stadlen in front of fans a week tomorrow (August 11).

The star enjoyed a career in football spanning more than 50 years as player and manager.

He was a double European Cup winner and key part of Brian Clough’s legendary Nottingham Forest team in the ’Seventies and early Eighties.

He also represented Northern Ireland more than 60 times and led them to the 1982 World Cup.

As a manager he took Leicester City to two League Cups, Celtic to seven trophies, and Republic of Ireland to the 2016 European Championships.

The evening will takes fans from his upbringing in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and thoughts of being a lawyer, to being spotted by Nottingham Forest and moving to England. He speaks openly about the decision to retire as a player, and making the transition to manager, and takes us behind the scenes of his rise to the top.
