Daithi Casey: Colm Gooch ‘the best that’s ever played the game’

Daithi Casey has hailed Colm Cooper as “the best that’s ever played” the game of Gaelic football.

Receiving his AIB provincial player of the year for 2016 in Croke Park yesterday, Casey lauded his Dr Crokes team-mate and expressed hope he would be in Kerry colours again after the club’s commitments are completed.

“I can’t answer for him but I think everyone in the whole country wants to see him coming back playing (for Kerry). I would certainly love to see him back playing with Kerry for another few years.
