went on to represent Roscommon 117 times in all, scoring an impressive 14-108.

All the more impressive when one considers he played as a wing half back when McStay was manager.

[Rossfan]

And he was off the panel a few times over the years.
Mind you I thought he'd retired last year.

[Don Cockburn]

You're getting old when you see members of the Roscommon 2006 minor team retiring.

[Rossfan]

They'll all turn 34 or 35 this year

What status would that 06 team have in the county?

[Rossfan]

No "status" as such other than lads who won an all Ireland.
We'd be proud of them same as the 65 year olds who won the u21 in 1978.
Not many would be excited (or aware of !!) about the lads in their 40s who won the 2000 JF AI.

Well, as a Mayo man who was in Croker for the drawn minor final, I thought the chance was gone.
watching the replay on tg4 was a novelty and the Rossie crowd was unbelievable. A great day for the underdog

Lee Keegan has retired, a big loss , I thought he might go on for one more year.

Great player and warrior for Mayo. Thoroughly deserving of that so-elusive AI medal. At least he won one with Westport.

[rodney trotter]

Class player. He had a few bad injuries in recent years, but still came back to a high level in 21 and won 5th.All Star.

Mayo are at the beginning of a re-build. Westport are a finished product. It's a wise decision.

[An Fhairche Abu]

Superb player whose performances went up a notch even further on the biggest days, best Mayo player of my time watching football.
All the best to him in retirement.
