Dellboy - Martin O'Neill was indeed a runner up twice in All-Ireland Finals, one with Derry Minors, and the other with St Columb's College, Derry in the Hogan Cup Final, not sure of the years though but i do know he was banned from playing Gaelic Football by the GAA when he signed to play soccer for Distillery.

I also think he won the MacRory Cup with St Malachy's, Belfast but not sure if they got to the Hogan final or not. I'm almost certain that's all correct, if not i'm sure someone will point out my mistakes!

No. Galway-Kerry minor final in 1970. Derry beaten in semi.

: who is the only man to own a champions league medal, and an all ireland football medal?

Surely the clue is in the question...he said to OWN a champs league medal and all Ireland medal.....he didnt say win?
And if he does say Alonso its complete and utter BS

Cheers RKF, that clears it up for me! His two runners up must've been in the Hogan Cup then so for St Malachy's and St Columb's.

Any evidence of this theory that Alonso won an All-Ireland medal? He did state ages ago that he played Gaelic Football with some boys while staying in Kells and said that it was so savage that players should wear crash helmets. No mention from the man himself about winning an AI medal, just idle message board gossip i think!
