Kevin O’Hara
I recall chatting to someone at the club over the summer, and being told that our next signing would be from a club that I would struggle to find a supporter of. The next day, Alan Nixon linked us with Alloa striker Kevin O’Hara and I was utterly convinced it was a done deal. I took two and two and made five, I confess, but for a short while I took on board all of the information I could about the 22-year-old. Instead of signing for us, O’Hara signed for Dunfermline on a three-year deal in the Scottish Championship. How has he done I hear you ask (quietly)? Has he been the goal machine that we could have used to great effect?
Kind of. He does average a goal every other game, which would mean ten from 20 in our side, having scored seven in 16 for his new employers. Three of those goals came in one game though, oddly coming after he came on as a 66th-minute sub. He hasn’t really broken through as yet, he has only started four league games for them, with four more starts in the League Cup. I said at the time if we were to sign him, he would be an unfinished article and he seems to be fitting that exact bill north of the border.
