Keith Padre Gerard O'Neill (born 16 February 1976 in Dublin) is a former professional footballer who represented the Republic of Ireland.
A pacey left-sided midfielder who could sometimes play as a striker, as a promising youngster O'Neill was spotted by several sides including Norwich City, who went on to sign him when he was 18 and did immediately impress, despite being very injury prone. The injury problems, some of them stemming him having suffered from spondylosis as a child,[1] affected him virtually from the start of his career and ultimately curtailed his progress.
Despite impressing enough to make the Ireland squad and also was linked with Celtic F.C., Newcastle United F.C. and even impressing Ajax Amsterdam O'Neill went on to play for Middlesbrough F.C. and Coventry City F.C., as well as making 13 appearances for his country, scoring four goals.
