Kerry GAA Boss Pushes Back On Jack O'Connor's 'Last Hurrah' Retirement Claim

Jack O'Connor immortalised himself in GAA folklore by steering Kerry to an incredible fifth Sam Maguire Cup under his watch.

The veteran manager oversaw a brilliant performance as The Kingdom out-fought Donegal to win the All-Ireland Championship for the 39th time on Sunday.

O'Connor, who is in his second spell as Kerry manager, won the Gaelic football's holy grail in 2004, 2006 and 2009 in his first stint.

He then guided David Clifford and Co to their 2022 success against Galway before reclaiming the crown three years later after a stunning performance.
