Summary
This audio edition is narrated with class by the author, Martin O'Neill.
Martin O’Neill is one of the most fascinating and respected figures in football. In On Days Like These, he tells the story of his remarkable career.
For the first time, Martin O’Neill reflects on one of the most varied and successful football careers in the British Isles. With a journey spanning over fifty years, Martin dives into the exhilarating highs of trophies, promotion and World Cup fights – and the painful lows of fan confrontations, boardroom drama, relegation scraps and getting fired.
Read fascinating stories from his journey as a player, his breakthrough with Distillery in Northern Ireland, to joining Brian Clough’s legendary Nottingham Forest team as it rose from the Second Division all the way to winning back-to-back European Cups.
Go behind-the-scenes on his international career for Northern Ireland, playing alongside and getting to know the Belfast Boy himself, George Best.
Then, Martin delves into his work as a manager, including his celebrated leadership of Celtic – retaking dominance from Rangers in his very first Old Firm match.
And on more recent times, lessons are learned in England – as he led Wycombe from Conference to the League, and Leicester City and Aston Villa to unprecedented highs – before joining forces with Roy Keane and taking the Republic of Ireland to the second round of the Euros for the first time in their history.
Written by Martin himself with his trademark honesty and humour, On Days Like These is an insightful and captivating autobiography from a true icon of football – and a must-listen for any fans of the beautiful game.

A must read for any football fan
As a young boy I watched Martin stand on the stairs at Celtic Park and promise to do his best to bring success to my club, as he narrates his life and career I am transported back to that evening at Celtic Park.

Cried when he left Celtic, almost cried again
Loved listening to the great man telling his own story. Really interesting listening to his playing days and early managerial career.

Interesting listen
Interesting listen some more controversial areas could have been elaborated on but always risky when almost all protagonists are still alive.

HERO
An enjoyable listen of a hero's career, playing and management. I met this hero and he never let me down and the book didn't, either .

Expected more
Martin O’Neill had a superb football career as a player and manager. That is reflected in this book. But from his TV punditry we know him to be insightful with a dry wit. Unfortunately, that is not reflected in the book. It is a standard football biography. Much of what is on offer any student of football would know already. There is little offered to explain why he had the success he had. Credit to him for narrating it, though.

Fascinating and superbly narrated
Brilliantly narrated and a well paced book that covers his early life, football career and then stepping up into management. As a Wycombe Wanderers fan, the halcyon days of the 1990s are covered in more detail than I’d have expected and it brought back vivid memories. Great book.

Brilliant writing and narration
I am a year older than this man and I have always liked him from the Clough years to date. I hope that he knows that there will be many others like me, not necessarily supporters of teams that he has played for or managed, who have admired and respected him during his career. This book is the icing on the cake for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
