John O'Shea

a friend of my brothers says he was in a pub a few weeks back in Dublin talking to this gaah head who was complaining about professional footballers and how useless and rubbish they are and massaging his ego generally being an ass.. john o Shea happened to be standing across the bar and overheard this..
Josh walked up to the man said hello then pulled out a 50 euro note, burnt it in front of the man saying ''when you can afford to do this come back to me'' and walked off! if true josh is a legend :)

Thats funny. Thought none of them carried cash though?

I think it was Alan Shearer I first heard that story about roughly a decade ago. Could you really imagine a guy like O'Shea doing that??

ah well i said it mightn't be true but sure it might be and as o'shea has been injured theres no reason why he would know him to say how he would act in situations? i understand the skepticism anyway :)hen and sure do any of us actuality be over and back here every now and t

Everything about it smacks urban myth.

We all know O'Shea wasn't raised by his Mammy to act like a gobs.

anyway hope he gats a few games in before the end of the season would be good to have JOSH fit for the friendlies to help bed in the new blood

And Drogba!

Wasn't it Roy in the airport leaving South Korea :)

Second time I've heard that story. First time was about 3 year ago, when it was set in a nightclub in Waterford and the guy who made the the comments was supposed to have been one of the Waterford Hurling team. Still just as unbelievable but the new lie is far less entertaining.

don't shoot the messenger :)

Also heard the Drogba one about two years ago... Peddled to me by a sap who was trying to convince everybody that it happened to his best mate so it MUST be true.

When a story starts with "A friend of my brothers" or "my mate's mate" you know it's not true.

I heard the same story about Charlie Nicholas when he played for Arsenal.

Any chance O'Shea plays on the weekend?

I read last week that Ferguson said something about O'Shea possibly making the squad for tomorrow's match.

welcome back Josh.

Didn't look even remotely fit.

I didn't think he played badly considering it was his first game back. Of course he's not going to be 100 per cent fit, but that is a very difficult scenario to step on the field into.
