TWITTER HAD BEEN well flagged about Henry Shefflin’s likely retirement today, but that doesn’t mean anyone has (or, likely, will) grow tired of paying homage to The King.
Here’s a taster of how Twitter reacted to the news from Langtons.
High praise from another code
And a fierce rival
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Shefflin clearly has his work cut out carrying all the medal around

A pleasure to watch
And play with
A trailblazer
And a trendsetter
He made the team better
It was only right
The numbers don’t lie
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
There aren’t many true greats of the game, so the sentiments are familiar
A brave effort at photoshop
Always loved his ‘over the shoulder’ points
To be fair comparing Kelly to Sean Og is a bit silly. Sean og was good , but Kelly was an absolute genius . He was worth the entry fee alone when tipp were average at best. He won games himself eg 14points v lim 06, or 2-9 v waterford 06. He will be remembered as an all time great. I’m pretty sure Tipp will not produce a forward of his class for a long time
He got a fair bit more coverage then Sean og got for his retirement
