    If you got that figure from transfermarkt then take it with a huge pinch of salt...

    He was out of contract at Motherwell. We had to pay "a nominal fee" as he was under 23.

    If it wasn't for Adam Hammill, Vaz Te and Paddy Mccourt. O'Brien would have looked good. I remember him most when we were 2-1 up and hanging on at home to Ipswich during the 2014/14 season. His attempt at a clearance that lead to their equaliser was amazing.

    Correct. As he was moving from Scotland to England, Motherwell weren't entitled to a fee.

    I'll never forget the performance by Jim O'Brien against Watford - when they went up to the PL. In all my years of watching Barnsley I have never seen anyone give so much effort. At the end Flitcroft carried him off the pitch - he had no more to give. He was amazing that day. Mind you, he took about a month to get back to his normal energy level.

    I once dropped on him in the old no 7 in town .
    Really humble down to earth bloke all his mates grumbling as he was talking to us ages.
    Good grafter on the field .
    Yes he did serve us well.
    Played a great tune on his guitar too
