Summary
Happy New Year from Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet!
This week, legendary former manager and player Martin O'Neill joins Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, and Jill Scott.
Martin shares stories from his remarkable career, including managing Celtic, Aston Villa, and the Republic of Ireland, where he worked closely with Roy Keane as his assistant. With Martin and Roy, there’s never a dull moment!
Martin recounts his many meetings with Sir Alex Ferguson - with plenty of banter about their days on the golf course, where egos, competition, and a few wayward shots led to some truly hilarious moments.
From legendary lessons under Brian Clough to fiery debates on modern football topics like VAR, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
