DJ Carey, Kilkenny, takes a free as Clare's James O'Connor looks on.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, D J Carey finally brought the curtain down on his stellar inter-county career after an All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Galway.

In a senior inter-county career that lasted for fifteen years he won five All-Ireland titles, ten Leinster titles, four National Hurling League titles and two Railway Cup titles with Leinster.

His tally of 34 goals and 195 points from 57 championship games mark him out as one of the top five scorers of all-time.
