Dublin manager Jim Gavin has been leading the tributes to Ger Brennan after the St. Vincent's man announced his inter-county retirement this morning.

Gavin said in a statement: "On behalf of the Dublin Gaelic Athletic Association and the Dublin Senior Football Team I would like to wish Ger Brennan the very best wishes as he announces his retirement from inter-county football.

"Ger had a long and distinguished career representing the county of Dublin from a young age and through Minor, U21 and Senior grades. A two time All-Ireland Senior Football winner, Ger also won 5 Leinster medals and a National League title.

"An outstanding leader both on and off the field of play Ger inspired those around him by his actions of self-determination, self-sacrifice and dedication to his sport - all focused on the team being the best it could be.

"An exemplary individual and gentleman; Ger's humility, poise and grace are a credit to his family, friends and club St Vincent's and Dublin GAA wish Ger the very best on his new journey."
