Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice ‘numb’ at loss of great friend Paddy Curtin

Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice used the word “numb”, and it’s as good as anything, to articulate the sense of devastation at the premature death of Moyvane’s Paddy Curtin.

The 26-year-old was Fitzmaurice’s type of player.

Intensely proud of his North Kerry heritage. Hard as nails. All about the next ball. The type of player you’d walk down Mean Street with.
