O'SHEA MISSES KEANE TOO

Last updated : 07 November 2003 By Editor
John O'Shea told MUTV that he wished Keano was still playing
for Ireland:

“I know what an influence he has on the Manchester United
team, so I know what an influence he could have had on the
Republic of Ireland team. We had a poor start, got it back
together but it was just a bit too much. Maybe if we had a
Keano [it could have been different]. We needed to win at
home against Russia and we still had a chance in
Switzerland. I would like to have seen how he would have
driven the team.

“I remember watching him in the World Cup qualifiers against
Holland and Portugal. They were two of his best performances
for Ireland and he was the main reason they qualified.”
