On Saturday, Tomás Ó Sé will equal his brother Darragh's record number of Championship appearances of 81. Some feat for one man but for two from the same family is extraordinary.

Stats like these could be seen as unreliable since the advent of the qualifiers but to be fair to the O'Se's they've played very few qualifiers so it's still a tremendous achievement.

Anyone know the all-time stats excluding qualifiers?

Mick O'Connell must be well up there in the Pre qualifier era

Mick O' Connell played 56 times in Championship and Danno Keeffe 66, some going really.

Fantastic players...

No one coming through for Kerry anywhere near these lads.

Underage success in Kerry? Zippo.

Can't argue with you there. The 3 Ó' Sé's were/are one of a kind and their likes will never be seen again in any county. We were/are blessed to have them.

Comhghairdeas le Tomás agus le muintir Uí Shé. A great footballing and a great GAA family. Fair play dóibh.

Are qualifiers counted as Championship appearances?

Clubgaa (Limerick) - Posts: 879 - 20/07/2012 15:40:31    1223645

is there a list anywhere (I love lists) of the top all-time appearance records. I would like to see it.
fair play to Tomás Ó Sé and also to Darragh Ó Sé . 2 legends of the game.
