Making his mark: Geaney believes O'Connor could have been a Kerry great

Geaney hasn’t ruled out the 29-year-old from playing senior for Kerry but suggests the county would probably have already surpassed their 40th All-Ireland SFC success had he stuck around

Paul Geaney reckons his club-mate Mark O’Connor would have been Kerry’s greatest midfielder had he not chosen a professional career.

Less than 10 weeks after helping Dingle to a famous All-Ireland senior club success, O’Connor marked his 150th AFL Premiership game for Geelong Cats with a victory over Adelaide Crows on Friday.
