MARC Ó SÉ’s inter-county retirement ended another remarkable chapter in the relationship between his family and Kerry inter-county Gaelic football.
With their late uncle Páidí leading the way as a player and manager, siblings Darragh, Tomás and Marc continued that tradition by racking up some incredible numbers between them over the past 22 years.
Here are seven of the best:
310 — Championship appearances for Kerry by the quartet (Páidí 53, Darragh 81, Tomás 88, Marc 88)
