STARS ARE CENTRE OF ATTENTION

IT'S DAY three of our Team of the Century with the two midfield places up for grabs.

- 

Day one saw Stephen Cluxton get the nod in goals, with Marc Ó Sé at right-corner-back, Seamus Moynihan at fullback and Lee Keegan named at left-corner-back.

Day two saw James McCarthy, Kieran McGeeney and Jack McCaffrey make up the halfback line.

Today Kerry’s Darragh Ó Sé and Dublin's Brian Fenton get the nod from KARL O'KANE as the two greatest of the era from the land of the giants bringing the county by county tally to Dublin (4), Kerry (3), Mayo (1) and Armagh (1).

Tomorrow we'll name our best half-forward line of the last 25 years with the full team unveiled on Friday when the full-forwards are revealed.

MIDFIELD

8. Darragh Ó SÉ (Kerry)

Ó SÉ emerged as a young dynamo to help Kerry end 'the famine' in 1997and was a key cog in the All-Ireland triumphs in 2000, 2006, 2007 and 2009. He missed the 2004 Sam Maguire win due to injury.

The 50 year old made his Championship debut in 1994, going on to play for 16 years at senior level for Kerry.

He was still going strong in 2009 when he started at midfield to claim a sixth All-Ireland medal to go with his four All Stars.

Perhaps his defining moment was the second half of the 2006 All-Ireland quarterfinal against Armagh when he took over a game where Kerry trailed by five points at halftime to guide his side home with an imperious display.

After the All-Ireland final defeats by Armagh and Tyrone (2002 and 2005), and a semifinal defeat by Tyrone (2003), there were serious question marks against Kerry's ability to deal with Ulster's top sides.

By midfield standards, not a man mountain, but as good in the air as anyone from that era with his spring and timing.

A top foot passer and shooter and never found wanting in the physical stakes, O'Se had it all for a midfielder.
