KEANE TIPS ‘SHEASY'
Last updated : 28 March 2003 By Editor
John O’Shea has been backed to win the PFA Young Footballer
of the Year award by his compatriot Roy Keane.
"Sheasy certainly has to be in with a shout," said Keane.
Wayne Rooney is the favourite to land the award but Roy
believes that John deserves it more:
"Wayne Rooney has been dynamic, whereas Sheasy has just got
on with his job quietly.
"O'Shea has delighted United fans not only as an
accomplished defender, but also by beating opponents with
bursts of speed and little Cruyff turns.
"I think he's actually a winger,
"He takes everything on board, you can see he listens all
the time, and then gets on with it.
"I don't know about this talk of him becoming a midfielder -
we have enough bloody midfielders! He can stay at the back.
"But he does have two good feet and a good footballing
brain, and hopefully the best is yet to come."
