johanhentze 14,019 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Unbelievable that someone who has spent a lot of time at Hibs, Lokomotiv Moscow, Birmingham and Barnsley is so fucked financially at the age of 33 that they resort to stealing.

They had a flourish of good players coming through their ranks in the early-mid 2000's, but a lot them just went to shit when they hit the "big time" (using that term very loosely). Thomson and Whittaker are the only ones who have never disgraced themselves at some point in their post-Hibs career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle 53,253 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I remember when he was in the Scotland squad staying in the Crutherland Hotel, he turned up in a brand new Porsche and was zooming round the car park showing off. How the mighty have fallen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 A serious, serious waste of talent. Could have had a long and prosperous career in England easily, á la Big Dunc. 16 caps and 4 goals for Scotland while not even giving a fuck. Walter Smith and Alex McLeish gave him every chance during the Euro 2008 campaign. He was part of the team that beat France 1-0 at Hampden but was dropped right after that by Walter after going AWOL for the next game. Big Eck recalled him and gave him a second, or rather third, chance - only for him to fuck it up again. Burley recalled him two years later for a crunch game against the Netherlands. O'Connor was eventually told to get tae by Levein, funnily enough... And he was never seen at that level again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
