Steve Perry - "O'Brien"

Since arriving in Vancouver, Andy O'Brien has been a rock solid presence on the back line and an absolute pleasure to watch from the stands. His no-nonsense approach to the game makes for great football... but it's his no-nonsense approach to his opponents that makes for some really fantastic entertainment.

His bollocking of fellow Irishman Robbie Keane during the Whitecaps 2012 playoff match against LA Galaxy was popcorn worthy to say the least... but his recent attempt to dwarf-toss a ground-hugging Steven Lenhart during last night's match against San Jose is the sort of thing that will stamp his name on the minds of Whitecaps fans for a generation or two.






Word to all you MLS primadonnas out there (this means YOU Ferreira!):

Andy O'Brien will not be intimidated. He will not be starstruck. He will pack you and your bullshit into a trashbag and dump you at the curb.

Here's a simple wee song to sing our praises of the hardworking Irishman who never gives anything less than his best. The chorus kicks in at the 0:50 mark:

To the tune of "Oh Sherrie" - Steve Perry:

O'Brien!
Our love! 
Holds On!
Holds On!

PS: A lot of you young 'uns might be asking "Who the hell is Steve Perry?"

He's just the guy from a little band in the 80s that has collected a zillion dollars in royalties since one of their tunes was on the final episode of The Sopranos.  Maybe you've heard of it?
