Luke O'Nien


From memory he was basically moaning that LoN worked hard and was a bit of a teacher's pet. Flanagan sounded like the one who was the problem, not LoN, as their respective career trajectories would attest.
I can just remember when he signed, seeing that haircut and thinking fuck me that’s a league 1 player there
 
Some people have kittens when they see his name on the team sheet. Apart from his howler at Newcastle and struggling at Villa, every other game he was either man of the match or in the reckoning, Regis knars,
 
What did he say?
Said he rubbed some players up the wrong way because they felt he was doing things just to look good in front of the manager. He did praise him as well and said he expected him to do well in the Premier League.

O'Nien has said before (possibly in the video in the OP) that when he was out of the team at the beginning of the League One season he tried to work his arse off to get back in the team and it ended up being to his detriment as he knackered himself and was constantly exhausted in training til someone told him to ease off. He also used to do that weird training in the dark with a tennis ball or whatever it was to improve his touch. I took it as that - I can imagine the likes of Maguire not getting that at all.
