John OShea explains lesson he was taught by Roy Keane in early days at Manchester United

Keane always wanted to help his fellow Irishman out when and where he could during their time together in M16, and so upon seeing Roy as he pulled in at Old Trafford, O’Shea thought that his captain and the other senior players would shout to stop the team coach and let him get on. 

But that wasn’t quite the case, as John explains…

“Next thing, I can see the bus moving and I’ve not parked the car yet, I’m nearly in. But then the bus is gone.

“So, I can see Roy and a few of the senior players and I’m thinking they’ve done me here. So, I’m panicking, thinking will I drive the car back? We were staying in Alderley Edge at the time, so I’m thinking what am I going to do here? 

“Quick little panic and then I thought, right, I’ll leave the car here and get a taxi and I’ll still get to the hotel in time. 

“Roy was teaching me a bit of a lesson there and, to be fair, it was my own fault. I should have known, prepared better, known the distance from the house. 

“The next day, I can’t remember who we were playing but Roy mentioned it to me again and I’m kind of like, ‘oh my god’. 

“It was a lesson, my own fault and you hold your hands up kind of thing, but I was more worried about the bus and then the senior lads were like ‘ah, we’ll teach you a lesson, Sheasy’. 

“That’s the way it was, it served me well. Those things, you have to be on top of.”
