Darragh O Se to retire

[Onion Bag]

A great player, great athlete and will be sorely missed in the green and gold,  but a poor mans Anthony Tohill never the less.

oh jaysus here we go!!

I was going to say a poor mans Paul Mc Grane

[muscles magoo]

A player I always liked. A decent grafter.

Fair play to the big man. He had a great innings with the Kingdom and deserves his elevated status in the game, and I think the fact that he is getting a lot of praise on this board says a lot, given the usual stirring and ball hopping that goes on here.

He's another that never really courted the media, but he always came across well when interviewed, never really bitched about losing and gave credit to teams who beat his Kerry team.

Above all that, he showed the patience of Job, and the restraint of a Saint when he didn't take Pat Kenny for an aeriel tour of Montrose when he was trying to get a reaction by showing him the Dooher photo that time.

Maith thu Darragh.

A truly great player

Thanks for the memories Darragh

A massive player and great career. Was surprised to hear he was only awarded three All Stars. Always gave his all against Tyrone in the championship... it wasn't enough but he gave everything

Fair play to Darragh - a true legend of the game. How many tyrone players are there with 6 AI senior medals ? Hmmmmmm - let me see ......................?

2 under 21 all Ireland's as well lads. some man for one man. mike McCarthy's pulling the plug as well according to rte radio at lunchtime. alot of the new lads don't seem to be blessed with darraghs physique transition beckons. did darragh play for ireland in compromise rules? i think he did seem to remember him with the coke jersey on???

My thoughts exactly. To be fair, given the direction of the game in the modern era we may never see another.

[Aaron Boone]

6 Senior All-Ireland medals, 4 League medals, 9 Munster C'ship medals.
Played in 15 All-Ireland semi-finals.
That's some going.
Best of luck in retirement. I've spent hundreds of hours watching him in the green and gold. The privilege was all mine.

Is that all senior level?

Just winding you man. It would be churlish not to acknowledge Darragh's career and of course he is an all time great. It is surprisng though he just got three All Stars. He deserved far more.

An outstanding player, probably as good as Kevin Walsh in his prime.

[Mike Sheehy]

who is Kevin Walsh ?

Tidy dig Muscles. Nice one.

One of the greatest players in the history of the game,He had every conceiveable skill a midfielder could need,terrific engine,a very good ball carrier,good score taker,terrific strength,not to mention alongside Tohill,IMO the best exponent of the high catch in the modern era.
It will be a strange sight seeing Kerry this year without Darragh as alot of us have grown up watching him give exhibition after exhibition in Croker.
