8 stats that capture Ó Sé family's remarkable relationship with Kerry football

It’s been an incredible run.

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:

All-Stars Marc, Darragh and Tomás Ó Sé all won All-Star awards in 2007. INPHO INPHO

8 — Kerry SFC titles (two each)

Darragh O Se and Tomas Meehan 17/3/2004 Darragh Ó Sé in action against Tomás Meehan of Caltra in the All-Ireland club final in 2004. An Ghaeltacht, for whom Marc Ó Sé and Tomás Ó Sé were also playing that St Patrick's Day, lost by a point (0-13 0-12) to the Galway champions. INPHO INPHO

 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.

    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.
