One of the hardiest nails to ever play the game #PaudieMaher https://t.co/QLGhrtZpCq

One of the best to ever do it and probably the biggest driving force @TipperaryGAA have ever had on the field. If ever a player deserved to go out on his own terms it was this man but no doubt he’ll excel in management or coaching or whatever he chooses. #paudiemaher https://t.co/MZqfpmnLBG

Take a bow Paudie Maher for an incredible career with your club and county. Adored in Tipperary and admired everywhere for what he did on a hurling pitch. His work ethic was off the charts and gave so much to his fellow players https://t.co/DcllNNNrNS

A very sad day for our club, Tipperary and hurling supporters around the country as we learned of Pádraic Maher's retirement. The man has been an unbelievable servant for both club and county and will go down as one of our all time greats. Thanks Pádraic! #sarsabù #PádraicMaher pic.twitter.com/499iLb6qQd

What an amazing player Paudie Maher was. A brilliant career. A tank of a player and one of the greatest to do it! #PaudieMaher
