Career

O'Shea first played Gaelic football at club level with Camp before transferring to the Kerins O'Rahilly's, with whom he won three Kerry Senior Football Championship titles between 1953 and 1957. He first appeared on the inter-county scene with the Kerry junior team in 1955 before immediately being drafted onto the senior team. O'Shea won the first of two provincial championship medals that year before ending the season with an All-Ireland title after lining out at midfield in the defeat of Dublin in the 1955 All-Ireland final.[2] He ended his career by claiming a National League title in 1959.[3]
