After Anthony Maher’s retirement, Killian Young, Darran O’Sullivan and David Moran are the only players left in the Kerry squad with more than one Celtic Cross.

Anthony Maher is the latest Kerry footballer to retire from the inter-county game. Made his League debut in 2008, Championship debut in 2010, won 2 All-Irelands, 2 NFLs and an All Star in 2015. Was an often underappreciated player but had superb skills, athleticism and attitude.
