TRIBUTES POUR IN FOR ‘BEST TEAM-MATE BAR

NONE’ DONAGHY

-

MARC Ó SÉ (FORMER KERRY FOOTBALLER)

The best team-mate I ever had bar none. The ultimate team player. Never gave up. Was never beaten. And he was some craic in the dressing room as well. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís!

RONAN O’GARA (FORMER MUNSTER AND IRELAND RUGBY PLAYER)

Well done @starryboy1­4 . Easy to enjoy the afterlife after everything you have given. Legend . Fair play.

DARRAN O’SULLIVAN (KERRY FOOTBALLER)

What a journey it’s been with this guy! The big man with the most infectious personalit­y. Lucky enough to play with some legends & he is one of them but he’s out on his own as the best teammate you could ever have. Thanks @starryboy1­4

JACK O’CONNOR (FORMER KERRY MANAGER)

“Bomber Liston was a central feature of Mick O’Dwyer’s great team and I would say that Kieran Donaghy is the same category as the Bomber and he undoubtedl­y was the Bomber of our team.”

PAUL FINLAY (FORMER MONAGHAN FOOTBALLER)

Great sign out Kieran, I can understand Kerry lads comments on your personalit­y in and around the dressing room, Super guy and great footballer. well done on a brilliant career with Kerry

AIDAN O’MAHONY (FORMER KERRY FOOTBALLER)

He wasn’t called the ‘Star’ for no reason, epitomised everything about being a kerry legend on & off the field, safe to say we got to know each other very well inside the white lines in training for years all for the kerry cause,only one (Star). Friend for life

MICHAEL DUIGNAN (FORMER OFFALY PLAYER AND PUNDIT)

Best wishes on your retirement Kieran & congrats on a great career.
