O'Shea was a dependable and consistent defender for Manchester United for over a decade. Along with teammate Wes Brown, he joined Sunderland in the summer of 2011 in the hope of securing more first-team opportunities. The ultra-versatile Irishman can play anywhere across the midfield and defence - and once put in a memorable half-hour for United in goal, making a spectacular block from Ireland colleague Robbie Keane.
