Jim Gavin lauds retiring Ger Brennan

Jim Gavin has paid tribute to retiring Dublin footballer Ger Brennan, lauding the centre-back for his “self-determination and self-sacrifice” to his sport.

Brennan yesterday called time on his inter-county career, having departed the Dublin squad in July owing to an Achilles tendon problem.

Curtailed by injury in recent seasons, he last lined out for Gavin’s side in the 2013 All-Ireland final win over Mayo.
