I think the first time I finished a season with the same manager who started it was Martin O'Neill at Villa, probably five seasons into my career.

James Milner

It was Martin O'Neill who said, 'You're a central midfielder.' He put faith into players. He was very clever at getting into players' heads, leaving little remarks to make me believe more. The players at Villa all moved up another level under him.

Gareth Barry

Martin O'Neill has definitely got the best out of me.

Gareth Barry

Martin O'Neill let me go and he obviously felt that was the right thing at the time. But you go on and want to prove people wrong.

Gary Cahill

Martin O'Neill rules with a rod of fear.

Stan Collymore

Now, when I have a four-string that I take on the road with me, it's a regular Martin. I bought a decent Martin with a pickup in it, and then I just take off the strings and have four strings on it.

Lou Barlow

I can't be Martin O'Neill; I can't be any of the other coaches - I have to make my own way.

Henrik Larsson

Martin O'Neill, standing, hands on hips, stroking his chin.

Mike Ingham

Every ball that is kicked, Martin O'Neill will be literally kicking it

Dwight Yorke

The U.S. should take notes: Government overspending and a campaign of alienating investors and small business isn't really the best way to boost the economy or overcome massive unemployment.

Oliver DeMille

I knew my knee was getting worse at Villa. The first season was dreadful and we went down. But speak to the Villa fans - take away the last three years - they were saying at the start that I should be playing for England.

Micah Richards

The amount of people that have said, 'You've inspired me to be confident. I've come out to my friends because of you,' that reduces me to tears every time, because I'm just, like, little old me from Hull has had an implication on somebody's life. That's massive to me. Massive.
