Ó Sé exit marks the end of an era

IN AN era of flagging midfield dynamism the retirement of Darragh Ó Sé has stripped Gaelic football of a priceless commodity and tradition.

That’s the view of the top midfielders who faced Ó Sé over the past 15 years and who claim he’s the last of a dying breed, committed to catch-and-kick midfield play.

Twice All-Ireland winning Galway midfielder Kevin Walsh, for example, claimed Ó Sé possessed ‘all the aspects of the game needed’ by a truly great midfielder.
