Alan Sheehan is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on September 14, 1986 in Athlone, Athlone, Ireland. Alan Michael Anthony Sheehan (born 14 September 1986) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for League One club Lincoln City. He played for the Republic of Ireland national under-21 team.

Sheehan endured a tough early 2008–09 season. After scoring a long range goal against Crewe Alexandra in a 5–2 win, Sheehan was sent off for another two footed tackle in a match against Swindon Town. This cost him his place in the team due to suspension and was replaced by Aidan White. Another setback was to come after Sheehan was injured and forced to sit out for a long period of matches. During this run in, his injury was aggravated in an attempted come back against Rotherham United. After returning from injury, Sheehan wasn’t involved in new manager Simon Grayson’s plans.

Sheehan revealed that he had rejected a new contract offer from Leicester prior to signing for Leeds. He scored his first goal for the Yorkshire club in their 1–0 win over Doncaster Rovers on 1 April 2008, a trademark free-kick from 25 yards out. Sheehan was sent off in Leeds’ 1–0 win over Yeovil Town for a two-footed tackle on Zoltán Stieber, however Leeds still confirmed their play-off spot in that match. The straight red card meant he was suspended for the play-off semi-final matches against Carlisle United and also the final against Doncaster Rovers.

On 31 January 2008, Sheehan joined Leeds United on loan for the rest of the season, making his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Tranmere Rovers on 2 February 2008 replacing Ben Parker at left back. However, after just four matches in the role, Leeds boss Gary McAllister saw the need to provide extra competition in the position by signing Aston Villa’s Stephen O’Halloran, also on loan. Despite O’Halloran suffering a serious injury in the warm up for his debut at Swindon Town, Sheehan still lost his Leeds place, this time to Frazer Richardson.

Sheehan signed a new two-year contract with the club that would keep him at the Walkers Stadium until the end of 2007–08. He scored his first ever competitive goal for Leicester in a 4–1 win over Watford with a deflected 25-yard shot on 25 August 2007, and his second in a 3–2 win over Nottingham Forest with a classy free-kick on 18 September. Following Leicester’s 2–0 victory over Bristol City on 24 November, Sheehan was named in the Championship Team of the Week two days later, together with teammates Stephen Clemence and Richard Stearman.
