SUBSCRIBE“This is the story of ‘Gooch’ and ‘Tweek’, two 33-year-old Kerrymen whose inter-county careers overlapped for 13 years. They retired within six weeks of each other… The departure of ‘Gooch’ transcended GAA and indeed sport… It’s different for Griffin, affectionately known as ‘Tweek’, who hurled for Kerry between 2003 and last year. His retirement, announced in an email from Kerry PRO, John O’Leary, last Friday, drew little media reaction.”
