Aaron Drinan from Cork finally finds a home in Leyton Orient
When Aaron Drinan arrived at Ipswich Town this time four years ago, it was difficult to avoid the hype. The forward, initially a product of Carrigaline United, was so strongly supported by Mick McCarthy and then by captain Luke Chambers that he was nicknamed “Murph”, after fellow striker Daryl, solely because of his performances on the training ground.
There were premature comparisons and high expectations. Then the harsh realization of the vagaries of English football kicked the teeth proverbially.
