Career
He was at corner forward in the rebels unsuccessful All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final against Meath in 1987 and came on as a substitute the following year (1988) against the same opposition when again the rebel county fell to Meath by a single point. 1990 was by far O'Neill's best year, though the year ended on a low note when he was sent off by referee Paddy Russell for striking Meath's full back Mick Lyons in the All Ireland final. In 1991 O'Neill retired after a shock defeat to Kerry in the Munster Senior Football Championship semi-final.
He currently is living in the United States as a very successful publican.
