Some of Fitz's most memorable moments playing for Kerry:

[Mid Down Gael]

An absolute legend and a joy to watch this genius of a man.

[Croí na hÉireann]

2 great feet, enough said...

[No way ref]

John Egan is the best Kerry forward i've ever seen

[Lar Naparka]

Fitz was one of the very best I have ever seen.

[screenexile]

Anyone who can kick frees off the ground with either foot is the best Forward of all time in my book... the man was exceptional, stylish and extremely modest with it he's without doubt the best I have ever seen!

[Dinny Breen]

Fitz was one of the very best I have ever seen.

Dee best I have ever seen

[redhugh]

A beautifully stylish player,the best kicker of a ball I've ever seen in the flesh.So good he made it look easy.

[The Konica]

Gregory McCartan did also I think?

Canavan took a few frees with his left foot as well.  Not sure about of the ground though.

Quality, but maybe could have used a wee bit of 'badness/competitiveness' in him.

Its incredible to think that because a man can kick frees off the ground with either foot that some people think that makes him the best forward of all time. What about winning your own ball, pace, bravery and being a leader along with two great feet.
How many top class defenders would rate Fitz as their most difficult opponent? Not many would be my guess

Stylists like matt connor and Fitz don;t need it. Fitz like Matt Connor was so good- words don't do either of them justice.

[Sandino]

Sorry lads but in my opinion, Peter and Matt great Fitz very good!

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Sorry Indiana, but would respectfully disagree there. You can have all style in the world, but if you don't have either of the work ethic or the team ethic you're of limited value. For example, would a fit Canavan ever have been left on the bench like a fit Fitzgerald was?

That's not to say, of course, that Fitzgerald wasn't a sublimely skilled footballer, but that alone is not enough, especially today.
