Dermot "Monkey" O'Neill (born 27 November 1960 in Dublin) was a football goalkeeper who played in the League of Ireland during the 1980s and 1990s.
But football was O'Neill's first love and he signed for Shamrock Rovers youth team where his brother Alan was the first choice goalkeeper.
Those performances attracted Billy Young and O'Neill was soon on his way to Bohemians where he made his League of Ireland debut, alongside Paul Doolin at Sligo on 13 September 1981, keeping a clean sheet.
But one week after that league disaster, O'Neill finally got his winners medal as Derry beat Shelbourne to win the 1995 FAI Cup.
When Kenny moved on to Bohemians, O'Neill returned to his footballing home and stayed there as goalkeeping coach until the summer of 2006 when under pressure boss Gareth Farrelly decided he was surplus to requirements.
