MM INTRO
Former Northern Ireland football captain and Aston Villa manager Martin O誰eill, lives in the shadows of many of his Premier League counterparts. He is a quiet achiever who possesses a formidable footballing mind. Best known for his time with Scottish club Celtic, O誰eill led the club to 3 Scottish Premier League titles and the 2003 UEFA Cup Final where they were unlucky to lose to Portuguese outfit FC Porto 3-2.
With Aston Villa since 2006, O誰eill has rebuilt the team into an attacking force that has many believing, Villa will be one to watch this season. Sitting on the brink of Champions League qualification, O誰eill and his squad will be looking to give Villa fans what they have wished for for so long, European glory beckons, all O誰eill and Villa have to do is take it.........
