Ronnie O'Brien Biography

Ronnie O'Brien is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on January 5, 1979 in Bray, Ireland. Ronnie O’Brien, a retired Irish footballer, was born 5 January 1979.

His only competitive appearance for Juventus came in an Intertoto Cup match against Rostov, on 4 August 1999. He entered the match as a substitute to Zoran Mirkovic in 77 minutes.

In search of consistent playing time, O’Brien, made the unconventional decision to move to America to join the Dallas Burn. O’Brien made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut for the club in a US Open Cup match. He finished the 2002 season with two goals and two assists in 11 games but had proven himself one of the more dynamic players on the team. O’Brien entered the 2003 season with great expectations, but these were cut short early in the season. In the Burn’s third game of the season, a tackle from D.C. United’s Dema Kovalenko broke O’Brien’s tibia, effectively ending his season. O’Brien returned to the team in 2004 and was one of the team’s offensive leaders – he started 29 games, registering two goals and 10 assists, was named to the MLS Best XI, and helped revitalise a Burn team that had recorded one of the league’s worst records ever in the previous season.

Italian giants Juventus offered the 20-year-old O’Brien a five-year contract; however, he had trouble getting playing time on such a talented side and was loaned out to Lugano of Switzerland, Dundee United of Scotland, and lower league Italian side Lecco. After several years of disappointment and one Intertoto Cup appearance, O’Brien was released from his contract with Juventus in 2002.

E-mails were circulated in August 1999 urging Irish citizens to vote for Ronnie O’Brien. O’Brien was elected to the Person of the Century Internet Poll, beating Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King. O’Brien was removed from the poll after it attracted too much traffic. Time reiterated the rule that “whimsical” candidates would not be counted.
