Kerry’s seven football All-Stars equals the county’s largest haul over the past 40 years, but not among the seven is corner-back Tom O’Sullivan.

Seven was the magic number at the end of the county’s 1984 and 2009 All-Ireland winning seasons, and that is again the case in 2022. The 1981 haul of nine gongs remains untouched for another 12 months at least.
