Jerry O Connor

[Reillers]

The legend himself retired today, think he deserves his own topic.

An absolutely massive player for Cork when we dominated. Cork were at their best when the O Connor twins were at their peak, he has been a brilliant servant for us and will be missed. He was the best out there back in 04/05, his fitness levels were always incredibly high and he was one of the most naturally skillful players out there. A very quiet man and it says a lot that he went out in such a quiet way. Massive respect for him and all he's done for the team.

We wouldn't have won the 2 AI without the twins, he had that much of an impact on the team.

An incredible player, and all the best.

To be fair, he hasn't been the same player the last few years. Think he bowed out at the right time. Great player at his peak though.

The running and long range accuracy of the twins and Tom Kenny at the peak of their powers in 04 and 05 were something to behold. 2 all-Irelands was a low haul really for that team.

Outstanding player for Cork.

Hope he enjoys his retirement.

But for a great KK team, he and the rest of an excellent Cork team would have ended up with a bagful of medals.
