John O’Shea Retells When He Played Goalkeeper For Manchester United

Former Manchester United player and Irish international John O'Shea tells the story of when he played goalkeeper in place of the injured Edwin Van Der Sar in a 4-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in 2007. O'Shea explains he went in goal as Manchester United had used all their substitutes before the Van Der Sar injury. #shorts #football #soccer #premierleague #manchesterunited #tottenham

That injury for van der sar looks brutal - ppl always say keepers are overprotected but they're subject to the highest risk imo

"Who did you go in for schmeicel" hed only been gone 8 year 😂

[vivekjayaraj]

Edwin van der Sar & John o'Shea. What legendary players for Manchester United. ❤❤❤

[wcthatcoconmuoi]

Back then Man utd have alot players like this, they can do anything and never give up

[garbeal]

Schmeichel? How old does he think john oshea is?😂

[mohammadreza]

O'Shea, the player that has played in all position, whether be it striker, he scored that glorious goal against Arsenal at Highbury, being a defensive midfielder at times, at center back or full back, and goalkeeper at that Tottenham game.. Legend...

With the amount of squad depth clubs have no, a lot of people will forget how valuable it is to have a player who can play virtually anywhere in midfield or the back line. O’Shea was a hell of a player.

Alot of people forget that utd won the league one year playing predominantly 4.4.2 and due to injuries the Central midfield pairing was predominantly john oshea and ryan giggs.

What a Star Sheasy is, I remeber that game, and we all felt that, "Oh Sh1t" moment

[delmanpronto]

what a solid character. to take up that responsibility. the guy played with courage, and literally played everywhere and held his end up. that's why i like scott mctominay, everybody hates on him, but for me, the guy does so much for the club in other ways, filling up for injuries and holding different positions on a pitch.

[anwaralisayed]

Now we have to deal with Rashford who doesn't even want to play in his actual position

[MichaelParkinson-wznh]

Not a united supporter, but remember the game, and he actually played really well, fair play 👍👌💯,

[adzm]

One of many legendary moments from big J oshea 😂❤

The next manager of the Republic of Ireland

That is just Passion for the game right there 👏🏿👏🏿

Reminds me of when Rio Ferdinand took up the same position in an FA Cup tie v Portsmouth in 2008.

[alienduce-unocero]

That was one of the best saves I've seen having in count the context, especially knowing it was Robbie Keane to define the play. Probably the best save ever by a non goalkeeper.

Dear lord, that one hell of a knock to the face 😮
