Don't think it's one specific injury, more likely it's his history of injuries
Didn't sign with a club all season and still only 31. What's the deal with this guy? Has he an injury stopping him from playing?

I saw Joey O'Brien down at Crumlin Utd watching a relative play football about 18 months ago. A nice summers day so everyone in shorts and short shirts. The first impression I got was the guy was too skinny. That might sound ironic coming from a fat bast@rd who could probably eat Joey O'Brien in one sitting and ask for seconds, but that was my gut reaction. It wasn't toned, it was slightness.
Always wanted more for the guy, but it never happened.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Joey had a serious knee injury and was lucky to ever get back playing. Before the injury he was a very good defensive midfielder when Big Sam's Bolton were in their prime. He was unfortunate to get that injury and it certainly curtailed his career.
Always look on the bright side of life
We have had a few that never fulfilled their true potential due to injuries ; Stephen Reid , Stephen Carr , David Myler and thats just a few to name off the top of my head .
And how about the number of young fellas that got injuries that stopped them early in their careers .
One of the first things you need to make it in football is to be lucky with injuries and have a body that can stand up to the rigours of professional football .
Played with Bolton's U-23's the other night; Bolton considering a deal.

we had a thread a few years ago, when you were a buachall og rather than a seanfhear, and the list of Irish prospects cut down by serious injury was staggering, both in its length and the quality of the prospects. I've forgotten most by now but it included Colin Healy and Richard Sadlier. Who was the poor red haired Wayne Rooney lookalike? Terry Dixon? Went from Spurs to non league in Kent after a horrible knee injury.
Alan Judge is not a young prospect but he was cut down in his prime right when when he was pushing for a Euros squad place and a PL move.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
In shoes I'm 6 ft. 3.
Trying to earn a contract at Shamrock Rovers accordig to Neil O'Riordan today.

I remember O'Brien playing really well against Germany in Croke Park in a game in which Andy Reid really shone.
Listening to Reid speak in an interview after the game i thought 'this guy is a future irish captain.'
With the likes of O'Brien, Andy Reid and Steven Reid, Stephen Ireland and a few others coming through, the future looked bright.
Alas, non of the aforementioned were frequently spotted thereafter in a green jersey.
Folding my way into the big money!!!
