A few Cork City FC players have been investing their money, a few have bought a pub and another two have started a clothing store. Good idea to be fair !!

Just wondering, are there other players with other clubs doing similar ??

I thought it was Lambert & Butler....?

Very few of our pros are on what you would call a great wage - the kind that leaves you wondering what to invest your readies in next - so I doubt many would have their "own" money to put into things like this.

The one thing they do have, however, is plenty of time on their hands, and a degree of public popularity, which would help them attract financial backing from other people.

Does anyone know if that is O'Brien's only source of income outside football or does he have another job.

The website and business is a good idea. A nice niche market there. However I can't imagine it being a huge money earner.

I beleive he runs some sort of fire and security shop and a couple of the longford players work for him but dont quote me on that its just what i was told

Our goalkeeping coach Gary Matthews sells goalkeeping equipment too, so they have a nice little number going. Digger does fire and security alarms as his own business. Graham Gartland used to work for him at one point. None of the current lads do though as far as I know.
