Pic: Eoin Liston’s picture of the 1981 Kerry team on holiday is something else

No your eyes aren’t deceiving you; that’s the late, great Paidi Ó Sé in a pair of Speedos.

No your eyes aren’t deceiving you; that’s the late, great Paidi Ó Sé in a pair of Speedos.

When you think of the greatest teams the GAA has ever seen, you’ll do well to top the great Kerry team of the late 70s and early 80s that would have won five All-Ireland titles in a row if it wasn’t for a goal scored by some fella called Seamus Darby.

Of all the photos taken of that legendary Kingdom outfit, we doubt you’ll ever see a better one than the snap which Eoin ‘Bomber’ Liston tweeted this evening of the Kerry team on holidays in 1981.

Was there a competition amongst them to see who could wear the tightest swimwear on the beach? If there was, Paidi wins hands down.

What a photo.
