Alan O'Neill (born 13 November 1937) is an English retired professional footballer who played in the Football League for Sunderland, Aston Villa, Plymouth Argyle and Bournemouth.
O'Neill played in the National Soccer League with Toronto Ukraina in 1971.[1] Before his departure to the North American Soccer League he briefly played with NSL rivals Toronto Hellas.[2]
In August 1971, O'Neill signed for New York Cosmos.[3] Although listed as a goalkeeper by numerous sources, it appears his statistics have been confused with teammate Emmanuel Kofie, and rather than playing 11 games with no goals, he actually played three games, scoring once.[4] [5] [6]
