Former All-Ireland winning captain was dropped from the Kerry panel earlier this week after 12 years of service to the county teams from an underage level.

Despite the sheer disappointment of being a victim of Eamon Fitzmaurice's inter-county culling, O'Leary has released a classy statement in regards to the decision.

At 28-years of age its difficult to envisage O'Leary never pulling on a county jersey again, particularly with an attitude like that.
