About Liam O'Sullivan

Lived 1981 – 2002 (aged 20). Liam O'Sullivan was a British association football player.

Liam O'Sullivan (28 October 1981 – 29 April 2002) was a Scottish football player, who played as a defender for Hibernian, Clydebank and Brechin City.

O'Sullivan achieved success in youth football with Hutchison Vale, and signed a five-year contract with Hibernian after leaving school in 1997. In May 2000, he joined Icelandic top division club Keflavík on loan. He went on to play seven league matches for the club, before being recalled by Hibernian manager Alex McLeish two months later.
