Shocking news. He'll be dearly missed by his family and friends.

Very sad news, tragic for any family at anytime, one of the greats whose legend will live on for many years to come ... RIP Paidi.

Grew up watching him compete with manic intensity on a great Kerry Team, I think there is some incredible statistic as to the number of All Ireland finals he played in (7?? 9???) and his direct opposite number scored a sum total of one point from play on him. I'm open to correction on the exact stat but certainly said it all about the man from an era when man to man match ups were a huge part of the game.

My he rest in peace.

From reading the tributes to him, it was 10 All-Ireland finals, and only 1 point sccored by the man he was marking. An amazing statistic.

RIP. Hadn't heard & i was opening the thread hoping it wasn't what i thought it was going to be, unfortunately there seems to be a lot of them lately. Sad news again.

Very sad news to hear. A giant has dissappeared off the GAA landscape. Leaving some enormous footprints it must be said.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Afull sad news couldn't believe it when i first heard it Today. A legend of the game hard to believe that he is dead at  just 57 years of age. Loved watching him play and speak about his love of gaelic games , Kerry and the gaeltacht. One of the best weekends we had was when we went down to play in his tournament around 1999 and meet the legend in the flesh  . Thoughts and prayers are with his family. May he rest in peace .

The term "one of the greats" is often overused, but it certainly applies to Paidi O'Se.

Genuinely shocked and saddened by the news about Paidi. Been down to his tournament on a few occasions in the past and he was always a great host. A true legend of the game. May he rest in peace!
That was never a square ball!!

Very sorry and shocked to hear the news of Paidi's untimely passing. As Oraisteach said sometimes we use words like legend to freely but undoubtedly he was a legend of gaelic football. RIP.
