BELFAST (Reuters) - Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill believes his eclectic band of players from the lower divisions of English, Scottish and Irish football can pull off a surprise at Euro 2016 in their first major tournament for 30 years.

The continental competition has witnessed a few major upsets in its 56-year history with Denmark hauling themselves off the beach just days before Euro 92 to claim the title and Greece winning in 2004 as rank outsiders.
