All hail the star of Man Utd

What is the first name that comes to mind when you read the title?
Ronaldo ? Rooney? Larsson?...........Nah! The true star is John O'Shea!

Really think about it...when a defender gets injured ,who fills in ?
John O'Shea.
When theres a shortage of midfielders, who steps up?
John O'Shea.
When Rooney is injured , and Man U needs inspiration to beat' amazing home record' Liverpool at Anfield, who comes up with the goal?
John O'Shea.
When Van Der Sar gets kicked in the nose , who takes over?
John O'Shea!!

He is the man!!
The real star!!
Mr. Utility man.

Today he accomplished the full circle....he has now played as Goalkeeper, left back, right back, central defense, left / right midfield, central midfield and now striker.
How many people can you name to have accomplished such a feat.

Another admirable quality is that unlike Mikhael"Mr Heart Attack" Silvestre he knows his abilities and stays within them ..... He does not try to dodge Gerrard ....GERRARD for goodness sakes!!!....in his own penalty area.He does not try ambitious passes that Zidane would be proud of...He does not take long range shots...he just plays his normal simple game.
He sticks to conventions...and does whatever is asked of him.

So I think he deserves some recognition.
So this is a tribute to the one, the only .......TRUE Utility man in World Football.....John"STAR" O'Shea.
