O’Neill offers views on life

FORMER Celtic manager Martin O’Neill yesterday said his wife’s illness has made him realise sporting success is not the most important thing in life.

The former Northern Ireland and Nottingham Forest midfielder also had a simple piece of advice for nursing graduates at Queen's University in Belfast "Go for it."

O'Neill, 53, collected an honorary doctorate for services to sport, at the university where he briefly studied law in 1971 before becoming a professional footballer.
