Keeper Shane Murphy the latest to visit Jack O'Connor's second chance saloon

This is a comeback that the 28-year-old goalkeeper might have considered beyond him when he didn’t appear in the 2019 panel following Dr Crokes’ run to the All-Ireland club final

Seeing as this is his third coming, it’s entirely apt that departures mean absolutely nothing to Jack O’Connor.

Just when it seemed Mike McCarthy had played his last game for Kerry in 2006, O’Connor persuaded him to make like a phoenix and he claimed a fourth All-Ireland medal three years later. Eoin Brosnan stepped away for the 2010 season only to be lured back by O’Connor and come within a whisker of his fourth Celtic Cross.
