The GAA Social Folgen

Six All-Ireland titles, one more than his brothers Tomás & Marc, although Fergal was the trailblazer! He’s enough medals, that you need both hands to count them. It makes you part of Gaelic footballs most exclusive club.Bursting onto the scene in the mid nineties, Kerry seemed a million miles from winning the big prize. Darragh led that change. He defined midfield and for many, is one of the greatest players of all-time. Four All-stars, nine Munster titles and part of what many believe, to be the most famous Gaelic football family in Ireland. His uncle Páidí, an iconic player and manager “I miss him everyday”Although Darragh rarely does any broadcast interviews, he has a column in the Irish Times and received plenty of push back when he criticised Kerry last year after the Meath game. He also had interesting things to say after the league final with Donegal. He looks at things differently. He believes the Kerry players don’t really care about what he says. Darragh doesn’t regret anything written in good faith at the time. What does come across, is a 51 year-old who still bleeds green and gold. The county and the football is part of his identity. An auctioneer in Tralee now, but the wonderful world of An Ghaeltacht is always home, and it’s always there. A place apart. Growing older, reflecting back, plenty of fun and laughs and what the great Jack O'Shea perhaps really thinks of Brian Fention...a brilliant story! A great man.Darragh Ó Sé on the GAA Social with Thomas and Oisin
