Cork versus Kerry won't be the same this year without Noel and Tomas! Their #5 jerseys should be retired #legends #gaa

Honoured to have played with Noelie. A great character and will be a huge loss to cork football but owes his county noting #oneofthegreats

Noel O'Leary has downed as many opponents as he has tree's in his time. A real hard man. Clashes with Cork will be duller for his absence.

Best of Luck to Noely on his retirement. The heart and soul of Cork football for the last 14 years. A super player and gentleman. #legend — Daniel Goulding (@D_GGs) October 17, 2013
Sad day to see a true cork legend of football retire after a great career. Absolute top man and a good friend. All the best #willbemissed
