letsalldothebeattie Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hibernian Football Club "Legend" and all round Junkie Garry O'Connor is going to be signing for Scottish Lowland League Side Selkirk Football Club! How the mighty have fallen. In a way I'm not surprised. Like Riordan he wasted his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If you never knew the story you would think he was using the training facilities and had an agreement that he could leave when a club comes in for him. That ain't gonna happen though. Not one pro club in Scotland thought he was worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxxx the SPFL Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I beleive Selkirk are coached by Steve Forrest who was with Hibs previously they have also signed six French lads.

Yoda Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Judging by the size of him when he was at Morton and his off-field habits, I think Selkirk are taking a big chance on him. He is highly likley to have a heart attack on the pitch, if he hasn't cleaned up his act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The first time I saw him play was an East of Scotland Shield derby at Fester in December '01. U-21's although I recall 'Baggio' played. We won 3-1 and O'Connor was awful. I said to a mate that he had no future in the game and, eventually, he proved me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it makes absolutely no sense. Sides should train locally. Selkirk have 2 great pitches to train on and they had some really good players from here that would have been very good for that level but this new guy is an idiot. Seems to be ruining the club.

Chester™ Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 A Hibs supporting chum of mine, after I told him this news, said he wondered if this will be part of the TV show that he will be in, regarding his fall from grace into a council house.
