Because he sees the inherent value in every tiny piece, he develops a unique relationship with his archive. Salt was rubbed into that wound by the insistence of O’Neill’s successor, Paolo Di Canio, that the squad lacked fitness. It would be unfair, as some have suggested, to depict O’Neill’s memoir as a score-settling exercise. But Martin O'Neill makes for a delightful tour guide through his own time on and off the pitch, with the Nottingham Forest glory days raked over for the finer details, as is his experience in more recent times with the Republic of Ireland.

This makes all the difference when he brings everything together in an image because we feel what he feels; his passion is infectious.

Pan Macmillan to publish Martin O’Neill’s long-awaited

Adlène Guedioura, one of the club’s more experienced players, had been left out and remained on the bench as Forest huffed and puffed through a match that hardened the impression O’Neill’s team were falling short of the play-offs. The flaw in that argument was that Guedioura had been left out of Algeria’s squad for their games against the Gambia and Tunisia.Yes he has achieved alot in both playing and management and yes I learnt alot of facts I was unaware of but it was written in such a limp and unexciting way. You are going to West Ham and expecting to win, whereas the previous year trying to beat Bristol Rovers was a struggle. He also speaks about managing the Republic of Ireland, and working alongside his mercurial assistant, Roy Keane. With all that considered, I was looking forward to an in-depth account of his career in sport, however I felt a bit let down by this.
