Footballer of the Year Michael Darragh Macauley was amongst the many twitter users who paid tribute to Louth's one-and-only All-Star Paddy Keenan who brought the curtain down on his 12 years in the Wee County jersey yesterday.

Paddy Keenan's performances were effortless & always consistent. All round quality footballer. He inspired a generation of youth in #AnLu.

Sorry to see Paddy Keenan retiring from @louthgaa duty. He has been a top class servant to them and one of the best midfielders of his era.
