Several prominent GAA stars have taken to Twitter to pay tribute to Tomás Ó Sé following his retirement from inter-county football.

Kerry team-mates Bryan Sheehan and Killian Young were among the first to salute O Se after he brought the curtain down on his glittering 15-year career. Armagh's Aaron Kernan, Dublin's Barry Cahill, Aidan Carr of Down, Adrian Flynn of Wexford, Meath's Brian Farrell, Mayo's Conor Mortimer, Darren Clarke of Louth and Cork hurling legend Diarmuid O'Sullivan - who had a short-lived inter-county football career - have also been congratulating the Ventry man on his retirement.

Meanwhile, Kerry team-mate Jonathan Lyne believes a professional golfing career could now be in the offing for one of Kerry's greatest ever footballers!

Here is just a selection of some of the tweets:

Tomas O'Se had some career with @Kerry_Official. Can't think of a better half back who played the game. #GAA

Aaron Kernan @AaronKernan

One of my hero's calls it a day... No better sight than Tomas in full flight. #KingdomLegend

Aidan Carr @AC_0404

The term legend is used way too often but it definitely fits for Tomas O'Se, best half back I've ever seen! Best of luck in ur retirement

Conor Mortimer @Conmort

Sad to see such a great, Tomas o Shea, announce his retirement today. I always loved watching him marauding up the wing to kick a score.....

Brian Farrell @Farlo84

Best wishes to Thomas O Shea, one of the many greats @Kerry_Official has produced over the years. His combative approach will be missed.
