Ó Sé hails Páidí’s influence

Marc Ó Sé says he’ll never forget how his late uncle Páidí stuck by him after the 2002 All-Ireland final defeat.

Marc was substituted after a difficult afternoon tracking Armagh forward Diarmuid Marsden but Páidí, then Kerry manager, refused to lay into him.

It was one of a number of stories Marc recalled at yesterday’s launch of the 24th annual EuroSpar Cuisine de France Comórtas Páidí Ó Sé.
