Hibs legend Garry O'Connor launches amateur football team in East Lothian

Former Hibs superstar, Garry O’Connor, has launched his very own amateur football side in East Lothian with an aim of helping young people succeed in the game.

The Hibee legend will look to pass on his expertise and build upon the platform he has already created through his Garry O’Connor Football Academy that offers youth football sessions during school holidays.
