Twitter tributes have been flowing in for Darran O’Sullivan who brought the curtain down on his 14-year inter-county career with Kerry earlier today...
Started with this man, finished with him. Struck pure fear in everyone with his blistering pace. A leader as he showed at a young age in 09 as Kerry captain. He was a great passer finisher and kicker, but his will to win and that bit of a dog in him is what I loved most. #legend pic.twitter.com/hWmme1AskN

10 pictures and 10 Munster championships together with this hero from Glenbeigh. Started with him, finished with him and loved him as a teammate through all the ups and downs. Struck pure… https://t.co/Onl4BmPqRi

The goal against Armagh in 06 is probably the defining Darran O'Sullivan moment. Explosive and direct, he was a super servant for the Green and Gold. Enjoy your retirement ๐ #GAA

Darran has been a GPA squad rep for Kerry in recent years and has contributed greatly encouraging players from his squad to engage in player development programmes throughout his tenure
Best wishes Darran pic.twitter.com/fPAuB9KKD0
Blessed with pace & an eye for goal, a defenders nightmare when ye got up to full throttle, the fabric on his jersey was the most tested in the GAA for years & even more so at training, great friend & a great character on & off the pitch ,loved a Wooly jumper ๐๐All the best๐๐ pic.twitter.com/o9tsOImXED

Congrats @Darransull86 on a memorable Kerry career. I’m very proud to have shared the jersey with this man since minor level in 2004, and we had some craic along the way! A superb role model with all the qualities to dismantle any defence. A class act ๐๐ผ
