About this listen

 A WATERSTONES SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS: SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025

This is a book about the development of football in the last half century. Changes in life are inevitable. So why not football? And I have witnessed many changes in the professional game, some good, some not so good.

In The Changing Game stellar manager Martin O'Neill offers his unique perspective on decades of footballing history. Bringing his sharp instincts and intellect through his tenures as a manager for Leicester City, Celtic and the Republic of Ireland, fans will enjoy the first-hand anecdotes of how to prepare for and play against the titans of the game. Martin explores every aspect of contemporary football at the highest levels, including how we deal with injuries, foreign influences on the British game, the changing roles of managers, coaches and agents and the effect of social media and wage structures on players.

Charting the evolution of the top levels of professional football from the beginning of O'Neill's career in 1971 all the way to the present day, this book is an unmissable companion for all lovers of the beautiful game.©2025 Martin O’Neill Football (American) Football (Soccer) Sports Game Greek Mythology

MON as he is fondly remembered by fans of my club Celtic shows in this book what we all knew he loves and lives football and appreciates how lucky he is to have made a life out of playing and managing in the game.

I usually enjoy football related books, but I’m not sure what this book is meant to be as it rambles on a variety of different subjects without telling you anything .
