Ex-Cork City attacker George O'Callaghan turned heads a few years ago when it emerged that he was managing Sabah FA in the Malaysian Premier League. 

It was a fairly short-lived spell at the club, as O'Callaghan points out is often the way in Malaysia, with the former Cork City player taking over in late-2014 and departing at the beginning of 2015. 

During a free-wheeling, entertaining interview on the RTÉ Soccer podcast, in which O'Callaghan discussed Cork City's glory days, Cork City's present less-than-glorious days, his youth player travails at Port Vale, and his unpleasant end to spells at Brighton and Ipswich Town, the Corkman also revealed how it was he came to end up coaching a side in the Malaysian Premier League at the age of 35. 

"I ended up finishing my career with the Crown Prince of Brunei (for DPMM FC) because I wanted to go and live in the sun so I brought all the family out. 

"When I finished, I sent him an e-mail and said "I think you're getting ripped off by agents and the players aren't good enough, can I have a chance to look after your team?

"So he brought me out and I brought out the five foreigners, I brought (former Cork City players) Joey Gamble and Roy O'Donovan out there. They won the league so that went really well.

Knowing George, I’d like to hear the other side of the story.  “ El Hadj, it’s your round boy”
