However his death was unexpected and has left his family, friends and relations in deep shock. Aside from his All-Ireland SFC winning medal, Humphrey Kelleher also won several Railway Cup medals with Munster. However his proudest moment in his sparkling football career saw his play a huge role in Cork's annexation of the 1973 All-Ireland SFC title when the Munstermen blasted five goals past a shell-shocked Galway side.
