He's a scout for Liverpool now, but Andy O'Brien still has a soft spot for Vancouver: 'It's like a second home'

Whitecapsfc.com catches up with former ‘Caps defender Andy O’Brien, who returns to BC Place on Saturday as part of the club’s charity alumni match. Tickets are available for purchase for $5.

VANCOUVER, BC – Andy O’Brien was almost never a Vancouver Whitecaps FC player.

What a shame it would have been.

When the opportunity of crossing the pond to join Whitecaps FC first came up in 2012, O’Brien turned down the offer. At least at first. Vancouver is nearly 5,000 miles away from O’Brien’s hometown of Harrogate, England.
