Kerry's ‘prince of full-backs' John O’Keeffe always worries for young Kingdom stars heading for Australia to join AFL clubs, in particular his 18-year-old Austin Stacks clubmate Ben Murphy, who is joining Brisbane Lions in November. 

“I think it’s a concern, to be honest with you," O'Keeffe said, at the launch of the Kerry GAA 50th Banquet, which will honour the 1975 All-Ireland winning team.
