MARC Ó Sé announced his retirement from inter-county football this afternoon.
The five-time All-Ireland medal winner released a statement earlier today to confirm his decision. Natually Twitter was full of tributes to the Kerry legend…
Colm Cooper said he was most natural footballer in @Kerry_Official team. After epic career Marc O Sé confirms retirement to Dara O Cinneide.

Marc O Se had a bit of everything but perhaps his greatest talent was that he made you want to be a back. And no one wants to be a back.

Marc O’Sé retirement the end of a reign, the end of a Dynasty? Has one family contributed or achieved more in any code?

Marc O Se changed the reputation of corner backs from hatchet men to ballers, made being a back ‘cool’.No CB could match his skills tho

Marc O Se could dummy better than most of the great forwards yet spent much of a career at corner-back! As elegant a defender as there was.

A touch of class leaves the stage. We won't replace @osemarc2 too easily. Had more class than @tomas5ky and Dara but don't tell them that👍

A cliche but true. It is the end of an era. Best wishes to Kerry's Marc O Se, who is retiring.
