O’Shea wins award for ‘flawless’ FA Cup final

JOHN O’SHEA’S starring role in Manchester United’s comprehensive FA Cup final win against Millwall has won him the Park Hotel Waterford Sport Star Of The Month for May.

In that same month the brilliant Ferrybank man also added to his tally of international caps and finished an otherwise disappointing season for United on a high.

This is O’Shea’s fifth monthly sport star award since the prestigious scheme was set up 13 years ago.

Presenting the inscribed Waterford Crystal trophy to him, Pierce Flynn of the Park Hotel said the name of John O’Shea is fast becoming a household one not just in Irish soccer circles but on a wider international stage too. “His performance in the FA Cup final was flawless,” he said.
