Spoke with @jerosullivanRK earlier about the night @DonnchadhWalsh brought his All Star to @JacksCromane and took over the whole show! A great night! pic.twitter.com/WMyO6PZSdN

@DonnchadhWalsh has announced his retirement – one of the real unsung heroes of Kerry football – we will miss him – he gave everything for the jersey and never sought the limelight – I know I am biased being a neighbour – but we will miss him ##@Kerry_Official

Best wishes to the great @DonnchadhWalsh on his inter country retirement. What a servant of @Kerry_Official since his minor days. His pace and energy around the park was exceptional. You’ll be missed #ciarraiabu pic.twitter.com/LxY67Wxyq6

I marked this man more than any other in my time with @Kerry_Official what a complete pro, great attitude, temperament and footballer. No one bettered his workrate. Jesus we used go on some tours of Fitzgerald stadium!!! Enjoy retirement @DonnchadhWalsh pic.twitter.com/QNEzfG0aOM

Well done buddy. Fittest player I ever played with, the ultimate pro, some man to stick a one on one, great teammate, some craic on the lash, serious club man. Never left an ounce out in that pitch, 100% everytime. Enjoy the next chapter big man @BalanceExpo @DonnchadhWalsh 👏🏻

As @DonnchadhWalsh announces his retirement from @Kerry_Official, he will have to run a marathon everyday to sleep at night!!! An unbelievable footballer, and more importantly a pure gentleman. Best wishes my friend 💛💚 #Blondie

Congrulations @DonnchadhWalsh on your retirement, sorry to see you go, you were one of our most under rated players, always left everything on the field of play, you did the jersey proud.💚💛

All the best to @DonnchadhWalsh in his retirement. Coolness personified and a brilliant teammate. He ran many a back into the ground and had the skills to match. A dab hand at the Brush Dance also 😜 💚💛

Surprised @DonnchadhWalsh only has one All Star. One of the most underrated players of the modern era.

Fair play @DonnchadhWalsh on a great career. Leaving with a pocket full of medals and memories. Will miss those point the toe and keep them low finishes. Beginning to think that a tasty Kerry over 35’s team is taking shape #energy #craft

Donnchadh Walsh was dropped for successive All-Ireland finals but he got over it, got in with it and got better and better. First half of that epic 2013 AI semi-final with Dubs stands out.https://t.co/BC5NH7B0lO
