One of the true greats remembered in a fitting way.
Páidí Ó Sé will forever live on in Kerry folklore anyway but the GAA legend has been immortalised on the Dingle peninsula with this stunning statue in his honour.
The man who won a total of 10 All-Irelands with his county as both a player and a manager would’ve been 60 years of age today and his memory has been marked brilliantly.
His former manager, Mick O’Dwyer, was at hand to unveil a life-sized monument of the Kingdom legend in action and there it will stay in Ventry outside Páidí Ó Sé’s pub.
The player who captained the 1985 team to Sam Maguire will always have a huge part to play in the lives of Kerry folk and now his memory is being treated with even more homage.
