From Croker to Lansdowne for O’Neill

Martin O’Neill has revealed his pride at the journey he’s taken from Croke Park in 1958 to his latest project of leading the Republic of Ireland football team.

The new Ireland boss was only a child when he visited Gaelic headquarters with his mother Greta to watch his brother’s Derry side lose narrowly to Dublin in the All-Ireland final.

He’s back in Dublin this week, preparing the Ireland team for Friday night’s friendly against Latvia.
