    No, not CR7 or the buck toothed one, but Dublin's own superstar Ronnie O'Brien.

    He seems to have disappeared off the radar since last year after not having his contract renewed with San Jose. Apparently they wanted him to take a big pay cut and he told them where to go.

    Always felt he should have played for Ireland and was excellent any time I saw him.

    Anyone know what he's up to? Still only 31 so there's a few miles left in the tank.

    Supposedly still living in Dallas, not playing football though.

    His time in Juventus ruined him IMO. Was too young to move to a club like that, would've benefited much more by staying in England.

    He couldve played a few games in 08 I think when Ireland did their summer tour to the states and we were really stuck for players but apparently he rejected the callup

    I read at one stage he was waiting out his residency period to try get a call up for the states.

    He's from Bray not Dublin.
