What is recorded here
O'Neill was born in Kilrea, County Derry, on 1 March 1952, the soil that first shaped the boy who would become a football legend. That small place gave birth to a man whose career stretched across continents, from local fields to European glory. Kilrea does not need to be famous worldwide; it only needs to be true. It is the origin point, the first address in a life that became extraordinary.
Why this person is known: Northern Irish association football player and manager (born 1952)
