Young Australian defender who started out as a centreback but is
being aimed at playing more of a left-back role due to lack of
inches (and the increased competition!). Did well for the reserves
in 2000-01 continued in that vein the following season. Made a good
start to a loan spell at Rochdale but picked up an injury which
forced his early return. In summer 2003, he decided to take up an
offer from AGF Aarhus of Denmark in order to further his chances of
first-team football.
"Hawk" says: Hi, I am from Australia and have met Shane and he
is a very nice guy to be around. I have watched him play soccer for
his school Westfields Sports High and also have watched him train
with the Sydney Academy and I can see Shane going a long way with
this career. Good Luck Shane and hope that you are enjoying life in
Leeds and can't wait to see you play for Australia some time. Can I
please have your email address so I can keep in touch????
Scott Tanner says: Saw him play a few fixtures back at Brownlow
Place. He's come along way since then. Keep up the good work
Shane'y boy ! Regards, The Tanner Family.
Mrs J Scotney says: I was Shane's Year 6 teacher.(in Primary
school) I have quite a few stories to tell....can't wait till he's
famous to let the media in on a few. What an Aussie Larrikin
BiGdAvE says: heard a lot about him, brilliant player.
JEAB says: hi!i'm Thai girl.i've met him when he come
here..Thailand(that's the first time i saw him&talked to
him...but so short!!i've searched about him but the website is only
in Finnish!!how do i understand!!well,i wanna see him play.. but
i've sawhim when he was training.that's it! i think he's very
kind.cos he let me hug..how nice he is?! anyway,i wanna be
australian?!! take care,bye..LOVE U SHANE..
Laura says: Oh my God...I just graduated from Westfields Sports
High. I had like the hugest crush on Shane in grade 7 and let me
tell you now that I wasn't alone! Ha ha...yeah he was very popular
and a great player on the field. He definately deserves to be where
he is now. I just hope that he comes back to play for the Socceroos
some day. England should stop takin' our Aussie talent...
Max Harlow says: Why has Shane been forgotten about? All this
talk of us having only one left-back at the start of the season
(Hartey) - Rubbish! We had Shane too (and Matteo, and Wilcox has
played there in the reserves). But they keep bringing in
left-siders - Nick Barmby, Teddy Lucic, and now Raul Bravo. Why
don't we give Shane a try? And he can play in the centre of defence
too, so he'd be useful back-up in the next few weeks (when we're
probably only gonna have Dubes & Kilgallon available). I reckon
they just can't be bothered trying to squeeze 16 letters and a
hyphen onto his shirt! If so, they're too lazy - Man City managed
to get Wright-Phillips on, and that's only 2 letters shorter.
Anyway, good luck to him, I'm sure he's a great player (wish I
could actually find out though), I know they liked him at Rochdale.
And Good Luck to all our young lads - never mind 8-figure sums on
Ferdinand & Co., invest in the future!
