O’Sullivan, 35, has attempted to make a return to club football with Kilmacud Crokes in recent years, but his body keeps telling him to put the boots away.
“It’s just not going to happen, it’s not practical, even if it was remotely possible I would have to devote a lot of time to get my body right.” “But as soon as I came back, I wasn’t even able to get up at 70-75 per cent of the pace without picking up an injury. We had a challenge game against Monaghan, funnily enough, and I tore my calf and that was it. That was my third or fourth injury in the space of a couple of months.”
“He’s really impressive. If you look at the physical shape and athleticism that he has been able to maintain at this stage of his life, and he’s had his issues with injuries in the past too.
