The O'Sheas versus the O'Neills

[Armaghtothebone]

Let me start by saying...do not take seriously, just a wee bit of fun.

To take my mind off the upcoming 1/4 final I started thinking about how many great players there were called O'Shea and if any other surname could compete.
The only other name I could come up with was ONeill. If anyone has another feel absolutely free to say so. THIS IS JUST FOR A BIT OF CRACK.

For the O'Sheas I have ( in no order)

Paudi ( for youngsters..a legend)
Jack ( for youngsters, as good a midfielder as ever put on a pair of boots)
Darragh
Marc
Thomas
Seanie
Aidan

Who have I missed?
Older Kerry fans...please step up!

For the O'Neills, again no order than a pure Armagh bias!

Rian
Oisin
Gareth
Stephen
Sean ( for benefit of youngsters on GAA team of century...wobbler can tell you more) My 90 year old dad described him as " take the best of Clifford, Matt Connor, Linden and  that would be him)
Dr. Pat ( again for youngsters a key part of Heffos brilliant Dublin team of the seventies).

So who have I missed?
Is there an O'Neill or an O'Shea who played on an All Ireland winning club team?

Is there another surname that could be added. You'd think Murphy would be a cert. but after Michael and Vinny ( Dublin) I'm struggling.

Over to you.

Gerry and Leo O'Neill both excellent footballers in the late 50s/early 60's for Derry. Their younger brother was better but went on to win the European Cup rather than the Anglo Celt or Sam Maguire.

McCartan , Down

There's been twice as many O'Sullivans that played for Kerry as there has been O'Sheas.
Some of the better known O'Sullivans:

Darran O'Sullivan (Kerry)
Donie O'Sullivan (Kerry) (60s and 70s - 2 All-Stars)
Mickey Ned O'Sullivan (Kerry) (Captain in 75 but was stretchered off and 19 year old Pat Spillane stood in for him to accept Sam and make the speech - we haven't been able to shut him up since!)
Graham O'Sullivan (Kerry)
Sean O'Sullivan (Kerry)
Charlie O'Sullivan (Kerry) (won 4 A-Is from 1932 - 1941)
Ciarán O'Sullivan (Cork)
Kevin Jer O'Sullivan (Cork)
Tony O'Sullivan (Cork) Famous hurler but excellent footballer also, won minor and u21 All-Irelands in both codes.
Cormac Sullivan (Meath)

For the O'Sheas, Billy and Barry were on the 97 All-Ireland winning team.
Jerome O'Shea won 2 All-Irelands for Kerry in the 50s.
Does Shea Fahy count for the Sheas???

John Joe O Neill, a legend in his own head
