Kevin Moran of Waterford: After 143 games for the Deise in league and championship, Moran announced his inter-county retirement this week.

Before Waterford played Clare in June, Kevin Moran knew his starting position on the chessboard and how Waterford had planned to move the chess pieces around during the match.

Moran was to line out in the half-back line. Tony Kelly was named at midfield but Calum Lyons was designated as a man-marker on Kelly if he played anywhere as a forward. When Kelly started in the full-forward line, the knock-on effect was Shane McNulty moving to the half-back line and Moran starting at midfield.
