Some great Georgeish quotes in this.......And he admits he stage managed his exit from Brighton
Former Blue George O'Callaghan says a reputation for being “a mix between Joey Barton and George Best” meant that he found it impossible to find a new club in England after leaving Town. The Irishman returned to Cork City on a three-year deal last week.
“Dennis Wise told my agent that he wanted me but he'd heard I was a raving lunatic. When Dennis Wise is saying that about you, you haven't got a hope.”
The 28-year-old spent much of the first half of the season on loan at Brighton but that ended after he criticised chairman Dick Knight: “I hammered the chairman in a press interview. I wanted to come home. Ipswich are a fantastic club and if I wasn't going to get to play with them, I wasn't going to stay. I improved as a player there.
“But I'm one of those players that has to be loved. I didn't have that at Ipswich. When that doesn't happen, my heart isn't in it, and I lost interest.”
