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.
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?
