Neil Richard Gaiman ( /ˈɡeɪmən/; born 10 November 1960) is an English author of short fiction, novels, comic books, graphic novels, audio theatre and films. His notable works include the comic book series The Sandman and novels Stardust, American Gods, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book. He has won numerous awards, including Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, Newbery Medal, and Carnegie Medal in Literature. He is the first author to win both the Newbery and the Carnegie medals for the same work.

Gaiman's family is of Polish and other Eastern European Jewish origins; his great-grandfather emigrated from Antwerp before 1914 and his grandfather eventually settled in the Hampshire city of Portsmouth and established a chain of grocery stores. His father, David Bernard Gaiman, worked in the same chain of stores; his mother, Sheila Gaiman (née Goldman), was a pharmacist. He has two younger sisters, Claire and Lizzy. After living for a period in the nearby town of Portchester, Hampshire, where Neil was born in 1960, the Gaimans moved in 1965 to the West Sussex town of East Grinstead where his parents studied Dianetics at the Scientology centre in the town; one of Gaiman's sisters works for the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles. His other sister, Lizzy Calcioli, has said, "Most of our social activities were involved with Scientology or our Jewish family. It would get very confusing when people would ask my religion as a kid. I’d say, 'I’m a Jewish Scientologist.'" Gaiman says that he is not a Scientologist, and that like Judaism, Scientology is his family's religion.

Billy O'Neil (played by Phil Barantini) was a fictional footballer on Sky One's television drama Dream Team. He was a striker for Harchester United.

O'Neill signed for Harchester as a free agent after being released by hometown club, Liverpool. He became the bearer of practical jokes during his arrival at the club mainly from team mate Sean Hocknell. However, Billy soon fitted in at Harchester and made a significant contribution to their Premier League survival in 2000 as it was Billy who won the last minute penalty against Tottenham after been brought down by goalkeeper Ian Walker.

Near the end of the 1999–00 season, Billy was torn between renewing his contract with Harchester or taking an offer from West Ham United. He had originally planned on staying with Harchester, but West Ham offered a better contract to which O'Neil decided that he could not turn down.
