Brady predicts slim pickings for Kingdom after O Sé retirement

FORMER Mayo star David Brady has forecasted a barren spell for All-Ireland champions Kerry following the retirement of midfield talisman Darragh O Sé.

Brady was on the receiving end as O Sé figured prominently in Kerry’s All-Ireland final triumphs over Mayo in 1997, 2004 and 2007, and he believes the Kingdom will struggle to replicate those triumphs without the An Ghaeltacht player.

“They say that you only miss them when they’re gone and I think that’s true in Darragh’s case. The older you get, the better you are in people’s eyes and it’ll only be in years to come, when Kerry aren’t winning, that people will realise what a top player Darragh O Sé was.
