mizer Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/scotland/Hibs-footballer-Garry-O39Connor-charged.6836145.jp HIBS footballer Garry O'Connor has been charged with fraud over an insurance claim for his crashed £100,000 Ferrari. The 28-year-old Scotland player has been accused of attempting to fiddle the claim which followed an accident in East Lothian earlier this year. The Ferrari Spider F1 was found empty after smashing into a bridge at Meadowmill in Tranent, at around 7am on April 14 this year, about three miles from his then home in Port Seton. Initial reports to police suggested an acquaintance of Mr O'Connor was driving. A source said at the time: "The car was completely battered. The driver was lucky to escape without serious injury." Insurance brokers are said to have spotted inconsistencies in O'Connor's claim and called the police. The player's agent Martin Reilly was today quoted saying the fraud case was in the hands of his lawyers. A neighbour said: "After the Ferrari crash he downscaled his cars. They've been getting less and less glamorous." O'Connor was accused last week of possessing cocaine and running away from police. He did not appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court and the case was continued. A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: "A 28-year-old man has been charged in connection with an alleged attempted fraud. A report has been sent to the procurator fiscal." Couldnt happen to a nicer person. Quote

Know exactly fit your saying, but can't help saying I'd still of taken him to Pittodrie in the summer. Might be a total cunt, but bet we wouldn't be sitting on two goals scored after seven games played Quote
topcorner Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Might be a total cunt, but bet we wouldn't be sitting on two goals scored after seven games played Hibs have him and they've only managed to score a goal more than us... (He did score all 3 of them though ) Quote
BigAl Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Hibs have him and they've only managed to score a goal more than us... (He did score all 3 of them though ) I therefore rest my case Imagine being lucky enough to have a striker who had already scored three league goals Quote
Jute Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Know exactly fit your saying, but can't help saying I'd still of taken him to Pittodrie in the summer. Might be a total cunt, but bet we wouldn't be sitting on two goals scored after seven games played If it was not for the pending court cases I would have agreed with you. Fair chance he will get the jail for at least one if not both court cases and will leave Hibs scrambling to find a replacement. Quote

Jute Posted December 4, 2012 Report Posted December 4, 2012 Lifted in Auld Reekie on Sunday night for possession and spent the night in the cells On Leith Walk apparently. What a fucking waster. Had the talent to play at the highest level but sadly has pissed/snorted it all away. Quote
mizer Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Posted December 4, 2012 Is he still playing football anywhere? Decent contract out in Russia for a 2nd division team Quote

Jute Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 O'Connor and his pal Riorden are the definition of wasters. Both very talented players who ad the ability to play at the highest level but sadly did not have the intelligence to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them. Quote
