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)
62 – Seasons their Kerry careers spanned across (Páidí 15, Darragh 16, Tomás 16, Marc 15)
39 — Munster titles (Páidí 11, Darragh 9, Tomás 9, Marc 10)
24 — All-Irelands (Páidí 8, Darragh 6, Tomás 5, Marc 5)
23 — Consecutive seasons that at least one of Darragh, Tomás and Marc was involved. Darragh made his debut in 1994.
17 — All-Stars (Páidí 5, Darragh 4, Tomás 5, Marc 3)
8 — Kerry SFC titles (two each)
2 — Footballer of the Year awards (Tomás 2004, Marc, 2007)*
*The Footballer of the Year award began in 1995, well after the inter-county retirement of Páidí Ó Sé.

‘Strong reservations’ see Dineen withdraw from Roscommon race, McStay only candidate left
The black card is here to stay in Gaelic Football and why the sin bin would not work
Good interview. An honest lad. Not entirely blameless in this whole debacle but nobody is blameless including supporters.
Now who the fcuk is going to manage Galway next year.. I fear the worst
Who would want to manage Galway now, nobody that is of a better calibre than Anthony Cunningham anyway.
They have become a very unlikeable team with their carry on for the last couple of months. Their “handbags ” behaviour lastnight was embrassing
What a pity the didn’t use the ‘handbags’ they had in Boston, in the second half of the all Ireland rather than capitulate to Kilkenny.
Harte has more to answer than most if the rumours in Galway are true, why was I taken off !!! 2 words, Charlie Carter
They wouldn’t fight when they were supposed to fight…in the All Ireland
