Si Ferry Meets... Garry O'Connor - Hibs, Russia, Birmingham & 2nd Chance Academy

[@jorgcooper2367]

Good lad. Can tell in his voice and demeanor that the boy's been through it, and thankfully he's lived to tell the tale. Respect to him, was a great player and he'll help a lot of young people.

[@Hello-hellowearethebillyboys]

Outstanding gesture to give the interpreter the car for helping him out.

[@COYBIG1967]

I love that we get to hear the stories from the ppl involved , it’s so easy just to judge these guys and moan about them wasting talent and being paid too much etc but they are humans just like us. Love his honesty

[@ScottishMTV]

Terrific interview. The best of the Open Goal series so far for me. Garry O'Connor gives a great insight into the life of a once rising football star with some refreshing honesty thrown in. Much better than the usual boring 'doctored' interviews you hear many pros & ex-pros give.

[@thewaspe177]

"I was a machine tae because I just came back fae Russia" brilliant

[@liamwhannel5884]

Best one yet! Gary seems like a really nice guy, just made a few mistakes in life, but what a player he was in his day.

[@c4m774]

Big Garry very honest and down to earth been throw madness and still here “I wiz a machine tae”😅 👍🏼class from both there best interview so far.... From A Rangers Fan

[@pgc8410]

"did you need interpreter for the interpreter? " Superb!! Best one to date.

[@allymcmoist1484]

Gary, O'Connor, you don't need even to make excuses or apologize for having a drink or too much to drink or whatever else you've done in your life. People forget how young footballers are & how they are expected to be instant adults when their brains aren't even fully formed yet. We all have done things which we found fun growing up. It's in our culture. You have lots to be proud of in your football career. I'm a Jambo & I respect you for what you've achieved.

[@noghd2560]

That accent. One of the best interviews on this.

[@Dan.Chaytor]

Big Garry still helping wee grannies across the road. Good luck pal. Another excellent interview.

[@Naefukabootio]

Great stuff, definitely one of the best of these, well in Si and Gaz.

[@chris4mena]

[@PureBadBreath]

Brilliant interview, what a character Gaz O’Connor is. Wish he avoided injuries cos he’d be a beast of a player.

[@CelticFansYT]

I admire his honesty. Te be fair .

[@Heronjim]

Brilliant interviews...keep it up Si!

[@Secular_Scot]

*Announce Neil Lennon interview after the season ends!*

[@ianlamb1910]

See that class of 2005, O'connor was the best out the lot of them, Riordan, Brown etc. He was really a great player just never had a head for the game. Great to see him turn it around. From a Jambo.

[@craigrobertson9022]

Brilliant.superb man.hope big Gaz does well aw the best big fella.

[@macanders1888]

Another belter ,Cheers

[@Realmadridcelticfan31127]

All the talent in the world. Garry was some player

[@FISHDINHO]

Garry O'Connor describing his autobiography. "it's a book aboot me as a young boy to noo". haha! Much respect to his second chance academy though. So many class players lost to the game when they are released at 16.

[@thegreencapital842]

Love these videos 😍

[@certavietvici2708]

Great interview 👍🏻

[@ceejay-qi2py]

Best 1 yet

Travelled from South Africa to London to watch that game against Arsenal at the Emirates. You were great fun to watch...would have hated to defend against you, mate.

[@MartynJoseph1970]

[@arthurmckeown1937]

"aw boaby done wiz eat fu##in toast man. a fu##in loaf a day" hilarious

[@JimmyJinky67]

What you see is what you get....Fucking brilliant.

[@kevinmacgregor5511]

I liked Garry growing up, natural pure natural goalscorer! Hibs have produced some quality over the years! The same as so many Scottish clubs! I don’t think Scottish football is as bad as people make out!

[@rosscowan3612]

Amazing how you can change your opinion of one person in an interview, yes he was a bit of a helmet but what he’s done for hibs is different class

[@dezzyhibs]

Fucking loved O'Connor growing up, got the Nike 90 boots cause of him

[@willaimforbes1508]

I remember seeing you training at Arthur Seat

[@bradking3628]

Great player at blues

[@SuperMillsyboy]

Ken what a mean, Ken what a mean, pure East Coast banter

[@iangardiner8303]

The talent in that Hibs side frightening with Garry Scott Brown Kevin T Whiticker and Deeks should av achieved more

[@jordangreig4960]

Great interview and very honest. Great servant to hibs his boyhood club who should be so proud of him. Media made a cunt of him and made him out to be bad lad when really he’s just a normal lad. Playing for free is someone all young players should look up to and release it’s not all about money.

[@cbhendry]

Patrick Swayze..........Hibs legend!!

[@lorettadoyle5887]

Brilliant

[@GISALEGENDYT]

Some powerful stuff from here & when I think of that team what it could have achieved, just a pity we never kept Mowbray for longer and the team as a whole. Genuinely could have been something but the Russia & Brum stories are interesting especially with his Hibs progress too.

[@grahamcrossan4217]

Open goal's got every other football interview program on fuckin toast!!!!

[@jayandreidelacruz2197]

Garry O is very interested that they can help you

[@ClarkyGuitar]

Tae be fair, that was a guid interview eh, tae be fair...

[@rmac8378]

“It was just eh, cunt, fuckin, people wi trackie bottoms yer trainin gear fuckin cutting holes in yer socks” - Garry O’Connor

[@fraser1888]

👍

[@Shaannon94x]

ken whit a mean

[@michaelinkster11]

Peterheed is Peterhead to non Peterheedians!😄

[@JM-cw1er]

Right good player, could have been a real great if he screwed the nut. Suppose it takes its toal on a young guy away from home with all that money. Hope his academy works out.

[@alanbeveridge9073]

Blood out then in and you could play two 90mins? That’s EPO mate.

[@johnmccaughey2722]

Wenger wanted to sign garry o Connor lol. Think garrys head is fried.

[@connorabernethy1997]

Love how he can’t say Birmingham 😂😂
