Tributes have been pouring in for Tipperary hurler Paul Curran after he announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.
In a glittering 15-year career, the Mullinahone clubman won an All-Ireland medal in 2010 as well as five Munster SHC titles and two Allianz Hurling League crowns. The full back was also honoured with All Star awards in 2010 and '11.
Here's a taste of the reaction to his retirement on twitter.
