Michael O'Neill
Position: D R /M C
Mike joined the club from UCD in 2011, but his early time with Seaford was marred by recurring injuries, and it took some time for him to establish himself in either team, despite his abundant ability.
He has the rare accolade of having played at least one match in every single position on the field, including a brief but prolific spell up front for the seconds under Paddy Hughes, and an impressive turn as an emergency first team goalkeeper against Blessington in 2015.
Originally a centre back by trade, he has established himself as midfielder with the first team. Strong in the air and on the ground, Mike's adhesive first touch and composure on the ball catch the eye.
Mike had another strong campaign in 2018/19, with his bullet header in the win over Verona being a standout moment, and played a key role in the run-in as the Majors secured a second consecutive promotion in 2020, with crucial goals against promotion rivals Portmarnock and Kilnamanagh.
And there was more of the same in 2021/22, as Mike re-invented himself as a classy and physical number 10, netting a crucial goal at home to Sacred Heart.
Mike surpassed 200 appearances for the club early in the 2022/23 campaign, during which he scored for the eleventh consecutive season, a record which only the great Dan Kiely can match in modern times..
