PICTURE SPECIAL: Looking back at Tipperary legend Conor Sweeney's career through the years

Former Tipperary football captain and All-Star Conor Sweeney announced his retirement from inter-county football yesterday following a glittering 15-year career.

The Ballyporeen clubman became the first Tipp man to lift the Munster crown in 85 years during their 2020 run and picked up an All-Star that same year for his efforts.

Tipperary GAA thanked Sweeney for his “exceptional and unquestionable commitment to football in Tipperary, both on the field as a player and off it, and they acknowledged him as one of the greatest ambassadors for football that the county has ever had”.

Take a trip down memory lane to Sweeney's minor days in 2008 right up until his final appearance in the blue and gold in our picture special above.
