✅ Here’s what you’ll learn:
Martin O’Neill, Nottingham Forest teammate and Celtic manager
He was a beautiful footballer who could play with both feet, great ability.
And I keep coming back to that word, fulcrum. He rarely missed football matches and we needed John to play every one of those matches. I think he played his role in football history.
When you think about the things he’s won in the game, he’s definitely a standout.
For John to return to Scotland to see his family was a big deal for him. He rarely came home and heard this opportunity to come home as assistant manager [at Celtic].
John really enjoyed his role. He was a great partner, there’s no doubt about that.
People, for lack of a better phrase, believed John, they really did. There was something about him.
The players had great respect for John as a player and anyone who played in his position would come up and ask John for advice. I’ve heard of players now, some of the best in the Premier League, who have said that John was influential in his advice to him.
