Born in Edinburgh, Garry O'Connor enjoyed an eventful career as a footballer to say the least, with the Scottish striker turning out for a total of seven clubs across three different countries in a career which spanned over 10 years. 

Initially starting out at his local side Hibernian as a powerful young centre forward, O'Connor quickly announced himself to Scottish football by finding the net on seven occasions during his first 17 outings as a full time pro, thus alerting many to his undoubted talents.

His purple patch in front of goal would continue into the 2005/2006 campaign before Russian giants Lokomotiv Moscow won the race for his services to bring him to Eastern Europe during said season, thus seeing O'Connor make his first foray into playing on foreign shores.

After taking a little while to settle into playing on the continent, O'Connor quickly hit form for the Moscow based side, striking a total of 11 goals in over 40 games during what was a two season stay in the Russian Premier Liga before he then left for Birmingham City.

Arriving in the Midlands during the 2007/2008 season, O'Connor was brought in to add some much needed physicality to the Blues frontline, with the towering front man's hold up play proving to be a real problem for many a defence during his years at St Andrew's.

After finding the net on just four occasions during his first campaign with the Blues, O'Connor would go on to net just seven more before leaving the club for Barnsley in the 2010/2011 season.

A short lived spell with the Tykes was then followed up by a return to Hibernian, for whom he found his goal scoring touch with once more, netting 15 goals in one solitary campaign before he jetted off for Russia once more, this time with Tom Tomsk.

Failing to settle in Russia during his second stint in the country, O'Connor would then go on to return to Scotland to turn out for Greenock Morton and Selkirk, before eventually hanging up his boots in December 2016 to take up the managerial reigns with the latter, thus bringing an end to his eye catching playing career.
