Walsh keen to emerge as a central figure
Throughout the Kingdom’s golden run of success in recent seasons, Walsh has flitted in and out of the side to a frustrating extent. He entered the fray as a prodigious youngster in 2003 in a league tie against Dublin, but disappeared off the radar then until 2007. A taste of championship action only arrived for the first time in 2008 and since then Walsh has found it difficult to carve a niche for himself in the Kerry line-up. But while he may not replicate the scoring exploits of some of his more celebrated colleagues in the Kerry attack, Walsh does bring important qualities to the field of play.
“We take every game differently and set up differently for different opponents. So I can be asked to play different roles on different days. I suppose when someone is needed to help out the backs, I am the player that is asked to do it. I can also be used an a link man upfront so to be honest the role I play, will depend on the opposition.’’
