Cork hero Graham Canty calls time on intercounty career

Here’s 11 pictures that sum up his career with the Rebels.

LEESIDE FOOTBALL LEGEND Graham Canty has brought the curtain down  on his intercounty career today.

“There are no regrets, certainly,” he told the Irish Examiner. “I’m glad to be finishing up with Cork while the body is in good enough nick. I’ll be continuing with the club, 100%. When you’re playing inter-county, you don’t train with your club, realistically, so I’ll be glad to fall back in with the lads in Bantry again.

“It was a great honour to play for Cork, and to captain Cork, obviously, but it was also hugely enjoyable. I was very lucky to have such great support from family, from my club, from the various management teams, all of which allowed me to play for Cork.”

The West Cork man skippered the county to a Sam Maguire win in 2010; here’s some of our favourite images from his time at the top level:
