Paidi O' Shea

As a Gaelic footballer true greatness of him cannot be denied So sad to hear that the great Kerry player Paidi O Shea of a heart attack has died In his fifty seventh year of life he was far from an old man He won eight All Ireland medals playing for Kerry in his amazing playing span A great Kerry player he was famed and well known Through the length and breadth of Ireland his legend has grown Of arguably Ireland's greatest Gaelic football team he was a true great The fame of the amazing Paidi does not have a use by date One who wore the green and gold of Kerry with passion and pride He was likeable and liked by many and made friends Ireland wide In the Gaelic playing parks of Ireland he proved himself when put to the test I see the great Paidi playing when he was at his best The great Gaelic footballer has lived his last day May he rest in peace mighty Paidi O Shea.
