After an eventful and distinguished gaelic football career, Shane Curran has decided to hang up his gloves.
One of the GAA's most colourful characters, the 43-year-old former Roscommon netminder announced his decision to quit club football on Newstalk's 'Off-The-Ball' today.
"The game sometimes gives you up instead of you giving it up," he said. "I've reached the stage where it has, I've taken my final bow."
The Rossies great arrived at his decision in the wake of last Sunday's Connacht Club SFC semi-final loss at the hands of Mayo's Ballintubber.
He revealed he has played under 57 managers during the course of his playing days and has ambitions to go into management in the future.
"There's no doubt about it, I'm highly ambitious, I want to get involved in it and will get involved in it. I think I have something to offer in that area.
"Hopefully, in time, I'll be successful at it."
