Daniel Olusola "Danny" Shittu (born 2 September 1980) is a Nigerian footballer who currently is on free agent.
"Olusola" is a nickname for the Yoruba name "Oluwanisola" (meaning "God creates wealth").. He is known for his strength and is frequently referred to as a 'tank'
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Shittu started his career at Charlton Athletic. He spent most of his two years at the club on loan, first at Blackpool in January and February 2001, then Queens Park Rangers.
Shittu's debut for Rangers as a loanee, away at Peterborough on 23 October 2001 in a Football League One fixture, was rather inauspicious ending in his being sent off in the 83rd minute. His first goal came away at Chesterfield on 15 December 2001 in a game in which he was again sent off.
QPR acquired his services permanently for £350,000 in January 2002. He was bought by fan (and later Life President) Harold Winton, who also paid Shittu's wages during his first season at the club. His first game as a permanent player was the home fixture with Bury on 12 January 2002. Shittu went on to have a very successful spell at Loftus Road becoming a fan's favourite for his robust and combative performances in the heart of the defence. He was part of the team that made it to the League One play-off Final in 2003 where Rangers were narrowly beaten by Cardiff and the team that won promotion the following season. He made a total of 182 appearances in four seasons and scored 17 goals.
I'm looking around
For some kind of trouble
I'm looking to find
Some friends of me
Been a long time coming
I'm not turning back
This time I'll take it all
Into my hands
'Cause I'm downshot
But I'm not gonna let it stop me
I'm downshot
Looking down the road ahead
I'm downshot
But I'm picking up the pieces
I'm downshot
And I'm never gonna let it end
I'm on the run
One place to another
Gotta get it done
I'm the only one
I've been a long time
Running the wrong side of the track
It's time to make my way
While I still can
'Cause I'm downshot
But I'm not gonna let it stop me
I'm downshot
Looking down the road ahead
I'm downshot
But I'm picking up the pieces
I'm downshot
And I'm never gonna let it end
I won't let it end
Been a long time coming
I'm not turning back
Been a long time
Since I've been on the attack
Downshot
But I'm never gonna let it stop me
Downshot
Looking down the road ahead
Downshot
But I'm picking up the pieces
Downshot
