John O’Shea scores as his firm’s profits rise to €1.3m

Ireland’s 100-cap soccer hero of Gelsenkirchen, John O’Shea, has reason to smile, with accumulated profits at his firm jumping to €1.3m last year.

The 33-year old Co Waterford man celebrated his 100th cap in October when he snatched a last-gasp equaliser against World Cup winners Germany.

New accounts lodged by O’Shea’s Sheazy 22 Ltd to Companies House in the UK show he has been prudent in his finances as he enters the latter phase of his playing career.
