Barracking from Kerry fans drove me on, says Declan O’Sullivan

Declan O’Sullivan has spoken of how he used the barracking he received from a section of Kerry supporters in 2005 as motivation for the remainder of his stellar career.

The winner of five All-Irelands, two as captain, O’Sullivan also reveals how he gave up his job to prepare for the rest of the campaign, and tells of how the closing minutes of the 2012 All-Ireland represent one of his biggest regrets.

His inter-county career ended on a high though, playing his 70th game as a substitute in Kerry’s All-Ireland final success — a win he describes as “the sweetest feeling”, better than his first, or his two as captain.
