Marc Ó Sé believes that his brother Darragh's retirement left a void in Kerry's midfield that has never been filled. He points to the county's relative lack of success since 2009 as evidence, suggesting that it's no coincidence. Marc also discusses the current team's shortcomings in the engine room and the loss of key players like Cillian Burke, Spillane, and Stephen O'Brien.
Marc Ó Sé believes that the hole left in the Kerry midfield by his brother Darragh has never been filled - and he worries about the current team’s shortcomings in the engine room.
“The whole of the county has missed Darragh,” said Marc. “What have we won since he retired? Two All-Irelands? That’s alarming from a Kerry point of view. “When you won the All-Ireland three years ago you had the bones of five midfielders togged on the given day. You had Diarmuid O’Connor at wing forward who could play midfield, Joe O’Connor came off the bench, you had Jack Barry and David Moran and you had Stefan Okunbor. Five fellas who could play in the middle of the field.
“His great granduncle ‘Gega’ O’Connor would have won five All-Ireland medals with Kerry back in the ‘40s. I definitely think Mark was the one who got away.”
