I'm sure I won't be the only one wishing Philip well in his retirement. A fantastic wing back who won it all with Tyrone and represented Ireland with distinction. 33 seems a very young age to be retiring but obviously the injuries down through the years have taken their toll.

An absolute credit to his county and a gentleman. I know the Moy were keen to get him back this year but injuries just got the better of him. Tyrone legend..

What more can be said about Philly Jordan that hasn't already been said, one of the most stylish and accomplished footballers our county has ever produced, thanks for the memories Philip Jordan, enjoy your retirement, you earned it.

Very good player and left it all out on the pitch.

Tyrone were lucky to have him. One of the best half backs of his generation.

I believe he will be on the RTE panel for this Sunday. Should be interesting.

On BBC's coverage they have Jim McGuinness, Kieran McGeeney and Martin McHugh this weekend. Should be interesting.

Thought he spoke very well last night, id rather hear his opinion on the current games than the usual suspects earlier in the day .

Excellent player, He had an amazing career with Tyrone, and should be proud of his medal and All Star tally.

I liked how honest he was on the Sunday game, Straight to the point and no BS.

His stand out performance has to be the 2003 all-ireland final - he should have got an award.

Loved how he said in all his time as a player under Harte that he was never told to foul and a foul is a tackle not executed properly.

Just shows you can be loyal and objective too.

They should have him on more.
