University College Dublin manager Collie O'Neill takes his side to Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round on Thursday, but is already enjoying one of the most memorable years of his life so far.
O'Neill's men only qualified for Europe via the Fair Play League, yet pulled off arguably the biggest win in their history when they defeated F91 Dudelange of Luxembourg in the last round.
But the drama did not stop there for O'Neill, who raced back from the fixture and arrived home just in time to attend the birth of his son.
"Carl O'Neill born at 5:40am, so good of my wife to hold on till I got back from Luxembourg," he tweeted at the time.
