O'Neill was given a rapturous welcome on Sunday by the Sunderland faithful at the Stadium of Light faithful ahead of the Black Cats' dramatic 2-1 win. The former Celtic and Aston Villa has revealed he was taken aback by the support he was shown from the Sunderland supporters. "It was overwhelming. Naturally I was taken," O'Neill told the club's official website. "I'm delighted to be here and I hope I'm here for some considerable time - if I am it means we'll be doing well."
