Páidí Ó Sé

Páidí Ó Sé (1955 to 2012) was a Gaelic footballer and later manager from Ceann Trá in County Kerry. He played for the Kerry senior team across fifteen seasons from 1974 to 1988 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders of his generation. He won eight All-Ireland medals, including four in a row from 1978 to 1981 and three in a row from 1984 to 1986, together with eleven Munster medals, four National Football League medals and five successive All Stars. Known as a tough defender and tight marker, he conceded just one point in ten All-Ireland final appearances. After his playing days he managed Kerry, Westmeath and Clare, and his death in December 2012 was widely mourned in Kerry.
