Actually ...to be precise: O'Brien has dual English-Irish citizenship, and despite representing England at U18 level, he elected to represent the Republic of Ireland at senior level.
RE: would be a good pick up i think but... not the big bruising centre half i think we need. this zakuani looks a big lad.
RE: sound like just the ticket debut at 16, very impressive http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=forwardOnly&nextPage=enPlayerProfile&playerId=266786
RE: sound like just the ticket Andy O'Brien! Andy O'Brien! Andy Andy OOO'Brien!!! Who put the ball in the QPR's net? O'Brien!!!!! O'Brien!!!!! (doh) I wish.
RE: sound like just the ticket I'd be very pleased to land either.</p> However, I think the experience and proven quality of O'Brien safely puts him out of our league. He sold for £2 million only 18 months ago!</p> Pity, because I can't help but feel it is an experienced head we need to bring the young defenders on rather than another youngster with promise for the future.</p>
According to this... http://www.uglyfootballers.com/genpage.asp?documentid=262 he's played for us before. By the way can you spot McIndoe in the ugliest Championship team?
Technically your all wrong again: Actually O'Brien began his footballing career at St John Fisher Catholic High School, Harrogate, under the stewardship of his manager, Max Mills.
