..I think it says a lot about the standard of Kerry football and their achievements whenever a man like this with 5 All Ireland medals in his arse pocket retires and it doesnt even warrant a mention on here ........until now ;)

Should have had an All Star in 2009 and a few of my Kerry mates would tell you he would have nailed McMenamin in the AIF last year before he scored THAT goal.

Great servant to Kerry football...he'd be a superstar and an All Time Great in any other county :-\

Jesus , almost missed this. When did he announce this ? Typical of Tommy to go quietly into the sunset !
A great servant.People talk about underrated players but I honestly cant think of a time he ever let us down.
Strong, Athletic player. Did the simple things well but he could also do "exceptional" ...thought he was brilliant against Cork in 2009 after a shaky start. Thanks for the memories Tommy.

You will tend to miss these things when you are a championship supporter and only think the GAA exists in the summer!
That was never a square ball!!
