Kerry footballer.....

Superb footballer and a tremendous example to everyone in the GAA. His book was a fascinating read and provides an insight into why Kerry are Kerry. They kept after a moody, awkward young basketballer and eventually he blossomend into a STAR. The mentor bringing his gloves to him in the pub after a game when he'd thrown them in the dugout in disgust at how bad he played. People like that are the unsuing heros of the GAA and Donaghy acknowledged that....much as his excellent statement above does the people wound him who helped his career.

Ah Jesus... You've just jumped in there too quick.

No more than the Bomber Liston, you always felt something could happen around the goalmouth with Star lurking. Allied to his great fielding ability, he had quick hands and awareness. He was also a great striker of the ball. He was also one of the great characters of the GAA and will be missed. His book also rose well above the ghostwritten drivel that passes for GAA books.

All he did to back it up was catch the ball and be on a good team. There's players up and down the country who could have done what he did I'd give the same opportunities. Limited footballer and unlimited gob.

I'm not going to pretend I like or respect him because he's retiring.

Fantastic player. A menace around the square.

Always found him over-rated. Possibly the worst player to ever win PoTY. Bit of a soft touch too.

This thread is also serving another purpose - validating and updating my ignore list.

Nonsense was well able to play ball. His quick hands and unselfish play set up many scores for his team mates.
