Sean O'Shea is the pride of The Kingdom today, after nailing a monster free with the last kick of the game to send Kerry through to the All-Ireland final after a rip-roaring battle with Dublin.
Affectionately nicknamed by friends and family - and his own social media monikers - as Seánie, the player, a teacher by vocation, may have shone today, but he has been showing exceptional promise on the pitch from a very young age.As over 73,000 fans of the game looked on today to see Kerry's first victory over Dublin in the Championship since 2009, Sean proved that his years of training in the fields of Kenmare had more than paid off.
While playing at minor level, Sean decided to train himself up to perfect his free taking ability. The pressure of a free can shake the most experienced of players, but Sean takes them in his stride with a collected confidence that tends to see him soaring to success. "I have known him for a long time and everyone in the club knew he was a very good prospect coming up. And it is great to see that he has turned from being a prospect to being a proper senior player for Kerry. He just fits in so well in the camp and he is definitely one of our leaders.”
