'''George Paul O'Callaghan''' (born 5 September 1979) is an Irish former [[Association football|football]] player and [[Manager (association football)|manager]].

O'Callaghan started his career with [[Port Vale F.C.|Port Vale]] in 1995; he made 41 appearances for the club before joining [[Cork City F.C.|Cork City]] in 2002. He spent five years at his home town club, making 150 league appearances. This was followed by a return to English football with [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] before a brief return to Cork in 2008. In the summer of 2008, he signed with [[Tranmere Rovers F.C.|Tranmere Rovers]] before brief spells with [[Dundalk F.C.|Dundalk]] and [[Yeovil Town F.C.|Yeovil Town]] in 2009. He then returned to his homeland for short stays at [[Waterford United F.C.|Waterford United]] and former club Cork City. He was briefly with [[Cambridge United F.C.|Cambridge United]] in 2011 before he emigrated to [[Brunei]] to briefly play for [[DPMM FC]]. He joined Dover Athletic for a brief stay in September 2012. He began his management career with the Malaysian side [[Sabah F.C. (Malaysia)|Sabah]] in 2014, but it lasted only months in the role. He came out of retirement to play for [[Rockmount A.F.C.|Rockmount]] in December 2016.

==Playing career==
O'Callaghan went on trial with [[Port Vale F.C.|Port Vale]] at the age of 15,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/7040131.stm|title=O'Callaghan relishes Vale return |date=11 October 2007|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 June 2009}}</ref> and was signed up almost immediately. After two years, he was offered a professional [[Association football contracts|contract]]. After being named the club's Young Player of the Year, O'Callaghan was on the point of breaking into the first-team in the [[1998–99 Port Vale F.C. season|1998–99]] season, until [[John Rudge]] was sacked.<ref name="poddy">{{cite news |last1=Ryan |first1=Larry |title=How George O'Callaghan missed out on Arsenal and Spurs but got Robbie Williams' boxers |url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-30990550.html |access-date=17 August 2023 |work=Irish Examiner |date=27 March 2020 |language=en}}</ref> [[Brian Horton]] took over as [[Manager (association football)|manager]]. O'Callaghan was put back into the youth squad.<ref name="poddy"/> 13 months later, he made a return to the senior squad, scoring in a draw with [[Crewe Alexandra F.C.|Crewe Alexandra]]. He stayed in the side for the rest of the season and signed a new two-year deal with the club despite an offer from [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref name="poddy"/> Port Vale were [[promotion and relegation|relegated]] to the [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]] that year. O'Callaghan was the top-scorer seven games into the [[2000–01 Port Vale F.C. season|2000–01]] season but was suddenly dropped after a 3–0 loss to [[Cardiff City F.C.|Cardiff City]]. It would be his last game for the "Valiants".

He returned home to [[Cork (city)|Cork]] in 2002 after his contract ended at Port Vale. Shortly after, he signed for his hometown club [[Cork City F.C.|Cork City]], making his debut in the opening game of the [[2002–03 League of Ireland Premier Division|2002–03]] season against [[Shelbourne F.C.|Shelbourne]] in 3–0 home win in which he scored. He went on to form a useful striking partnership with [[John O'Flynn]]. Following the arrival of [[Neale Fenn]] in 2004, O'Callaghan was moved to [[midfielder|midfield]] by then manager [[Pat Dolan]] to accommodate the new player.

In 2005, Cork City picked up their first [[League of Ireland|league]] title in twelve years, and O'Callaghan picked up a winners medal. He scored eleven goals in all competitions, including in the [[2005–06 UEFA Cup]], and was also announced as the eircom League Player of the Year for [[2005 League of Ireland Premier Division|2005]]. He also played in the [[2005 FAI Cup final]] defeat to [[Drogheda United F.C.|Drogheda United]] at [[Lansdowne Road]].<ref name=deft>{{cite news|title=Drogheda upset Cork to lift FAI Cup |url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/2005/1204/drogheda.html |access-date=11 January 2012 |newspaper=rte.ie |date=4 December 2005 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311031212/http://www.rte.ie/sport/2005/1204/drogheda.html |archive-date=11 March 2007 }}</ref> He also was named as [[FAI International Football Awards#League Player of the Year|League of Ireland Player of the Year]].<ref name="poty"/>

In July 2006 he was given time off due to a falling out between himself and manager [[Damien Richardson (footballer)|Damien Richardson]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/5169690.stm|title=Cork wait on news of O'Callaghan |date=11 July 2006|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=24 December 2009}}</ref> In September 2006, O'Callaghan joined English club [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] on trial with a view to a permanent deal.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/ipswich_town/5348948.stm|title=Ipswich extend O'Callaghan trial |date=15 September 2006|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 June 2009}}</ref> He remained training at Ipswich for the following two months, unable to formally sign because of UEFA's [[transfer window]] system. In January 2007, the clubs finally negotiated a deal despite strong words on both sides, concluding in an undisclosed fee<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/ipswich_town/6273939.stm|title=O'Callaghan seals Ipswich switch |date=18 January 2007|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 June 2009}}</ref> (speculated to be around £60,000) which saw him sign an 18-month contract with Ipswich. On his full Ipswich debut, he was [[Ejection (sports)|sent off]] playing in the [[FA Cup]] against [[Watford F.C.|Watford]], after an alleged stamp on [[Defender (association football)|defender]] [[Danny Shittu]]. However, after a successful appeal, O'Callaghan was to escape a further three-match ban. On 7 May 2007, O'Callaghan scored his first goal for the "Tractor Boys" in the 5–1 win over [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]].

In August 2007, Ipswich agreed terms with [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]] to sell O'Callaghan for around £85,000, rising to £105,000 based on appearances. However, this [[Transfer (association football)|transfer]] fell through as the club and player were unable to reach an agreement on personal terms. He did, however, move to [[Withdean Stadium|Withdean]] on [[Loan (sports)|loan]] until the end of December 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/6969368.stm|title=Albion sign O'Callaghan & Martot |date=31 August 2007|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 June 2009}}</ref> He rejected the chance to sign permanently at Brighton, stating that chairman [[Dick Knight (businessman)|Dick Knight]] was being unrealistic with the wages he was offering both himself and fellow striker [[Bas Savage]]. Both players left the club at the end of December 2007.

In January 2008 he decided to terminate his contract with Ipswich, having played 17 games for the club, manager [[Jim Magilton]] explained: "George is a great lad but he's 28 now and needs to be playing regular first-team football. We have not been able to give him that here and we won't stand in his way of moving on now."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/ipswich_town/7201082.stm|title=Ipswich to let O'Callaghan leave |date=21 January 2008|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 June 2009}}</ref> On 31 January 2008, O'Callaghan returned home to Cork City, signing a three-year deal under new manager [[Alan Mathews]]. O'Callaghan debuted in a [[Exhibition game|friendly]] against Shelbourne on 7 February. He then made his competitive debut against [[Dungannon Swifts F.C.|Dungannon Swifts]] in the [[Setanta Sports Cup|Setanta Cup]] on 26 February, scoring two goals.

After numerous [[Player of the match|man of the match]] displays at Cork City, it was announced on 9 July that O'Callaghan, along with ex-teammate Bas Savage, had joined [[Tranmere Rovers F.C.|Tranmere Rovers]] on a two-year contract.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tranmere_rovers/7501602.stm|title=Tranmere in double transfer deal |date=11 July 2008|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=13 June 2009}}</ref> However, on 13 February 2009, O'Callaghan had his contract cancelled by Tranmere Rovers after suffering illness and failing to settle at the club. Returning to his native Ireland, O'Callaghan signed for [[Dundalk F.C.|Dundalk]] in February 2009, scoring against [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] on his debut. He left the club after just four months.

In July 2009, English club [[Yeovil Town F.C.|Yeovil Town]] confirmed won O'Callaghan's signature.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ytfc.net/page/NewsDetail/0,,10673~1732756,00.html |title=George Expected to Sign |publisher=Yeovil Town FC |date=24 July 2009 |access-date=25 July 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727134338/http://www.ytfc.net/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10673~1732756%2C00.html |archive-date=27 July 2009 }}</ref> On 23 December 2009 it was announced that his contract would not be renewed, after seven starts and five [[Substitute (association football)|substitute]] appearances in six months,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ytfc.net/page/NewsDetail/0,,10673~1912962,00.html |title=Kalala and Forbes sign for season |publisher=Yeovil Town FC |date=23 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007064543/http://www.ytfc.net/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10673~1912962%2C00.html |archive-date=7 October 2011 }}</ref> leaving him without a club.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/y/yeovil/8428537.stm|title=Terrell Forbes and Jean-Paul Kalala sign Yeovil deals |date=23 December 2009|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=24 December 2009}}</ref> He returned to Cork City for a third time under new boss [[Roddy Collins]]. After the departure of [[Dan Murray (English footballer)|Dan Murray]], he was named [[Captain (association football)|captain]]. O'Callaghan and the rest of the club's staff became free agents after the winding up of the club in February 2010. He turned out for the club in a pre-season friendly at Crosshaven but decided against playing for his local club due to the uncertainty surrounding their future. George signed for [[Waterford United F.C.|Waterford United]] on 8 April 2010. He debuted in the away day defeat to [[Monaghan United F.C.|Monaghan United]]. In his second game for the club he scored a {{convert|35|yd}} wonder goal against Tramore in the [[Munster Senior Cup (association football)|Munster Cup]]. He scored five goals in the "Blues" 9–0 victory over [[Tralee Dynamos A.F.C.|Tralee Dynamos]] in the [[League of Ireland Cup]] on 11 May 2010, becoming the first Waterford player to score five in a game since [[Alfie Hale]].

At the end of June 2010 George decided to return to Cork City to help the club's attempt to achieve [[Promotion and relegation|promotion]] from the First Division. He made his debut on 23 July against [[Finn Harps F.C.|Finn Harps]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corkcityfc.net/home/2010/07/12/george-ocallaghan-returns-to-city/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100719233157/http://www.corkcityfc.net/home/2010/07/12/george-ocallaghan-returns-to-city/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=19 July 2010|title=George O'Callaghan Returns to City! |access-date=12 July 2010}}</ref> He left the club once again before the end of the year.
