John O’Keeffe was known as the prince of full backs and also an accomplished midfielder, abilities which saw him win seven All-Ireland medals, five All-Stars, and the 1975 Texaco Footballer of the Year award during a glittering Kerry career that spanned 15 years from 1969 to 1984. 

When John O’Keeffe talks, people listen and last Saturday afternoon he was one of the guests at a St Brendan's Board Fundraiser to honour Pat McCarthy and Batt O’Shea, winners of All-Ireland medals 50 years ago when the Kingdom shocked Dublin. Bernard Brogan Snr represented the Dubs while recent players David Moran and Paddy Andrews also spoke ahead of the Kerry and Dublin league game in Tralee.
