2006年8月4日,上千名狂热的阿斯顿维拉球迷聚集在俱乐部门前,欢迎新任主教练马丁·奥尼尔的到来。这种情景对于维拉公园来说的确是久违了,因为球迷们从一开始就坚信奥尼尔能够改变球队长年疲软的窘境,因为仅仅马丁·奥尼尔——这个在球员和主帅时代都非常成功的北爱尔兰人,其名字本身就拥有足够使他们疯狂的魔力。 August 4, 2006, thousands of fanatical Aston Villa fans gathered in front of the club, welcomed the arrival of the new coach Martin O’Neill. This scenario is a long absence for Villa Park because fans were convinced from the outset that O’Neal was able to change the team’s long-term weakness because Martin O’Neill, who has been very successful in both players and coaches Northern Ireland, its name itself has enough to make them crazy magic.
