Career
O'Shea made his debut for the Mayo seniors against New York in 2009 and since then has been one of Mayo's best players, winning an All-Star in 2013 and playing in midfield in two All-Ireland football finals, the 2012 decider, which Mayo lost by 0–13 to 2–11 against Donegal and the 2013 decider, which Mayo lost by 1–14 to 2–12 against Dublin.[1][2][3] In 2013, his man-of-the-match display drove Mayo to a 16-point victory in a rematch against 2012 conquerors Donegal at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage.[4] He was afterwards refused entry at one of Dublin's biggest nightclubs.[5][6] He was awarded the GAA's Player of the Month for August 2013.[7]
He played in the first Test for Ireland against Australia in the 2013 International Rules Series, but club commitments ruled him out of the second Test.[8][9] He is suspected of being concussed up to seven times.[10] In 2016 Mayo were denied another All-Ireland title by just one point to Dublin after a replay on 1 October. Coincidentally the following year Mayo lost again against Dublin in the 2017 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final by another one-point margin. O'Shea has lost in a lot of All-Ireland finals along with Lee Keegan in 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2021. Aidan enjoys playing the guitar and is fluent in several languages including French, Irish, Italian and Swedish.[citation needed] [11]
Personal life
O'Shea had a relationship with Sarah Rowe, the Mayo ladies' Gaelic footballer.[12][13][14]
