The 33-year-old will be remembered as one of the most talented footballers of his generation.

Connolly won six All Ireland titles, 10 Leinster titles, four National Leagues and two All Stars in his time in the blue jersey.

He spent the summer of 2018 in Boston but made a surprise return to the panel last summer before coming off the bench to help the Dubs beat Kerry in the All Ireland final replay win, which secured the five-in-a-row.
