Galway GAA star Sean Kelly has proved he has what it takes to captain the senior team in recent years.
The Tribesmen made it all the way to the All-Ireland finals last summer but missed out on lifting the Sam Maguire cup as Kerry bagged another title.
Even so, there is no denying Sean's talents - here is all you need to know about his life on and off the pitch.

How old is Sean Kelly?Sean was born April 12 1997, making him 26 years old.
Inter-county career with GalwaySean made his senior debut for Galway in 2018 and was made captain last year.
The Moycullen native was given his first senior appearance by Kevin Walsh, while current manager Padraic Joyce handed him the captaincy.
Sean has enjoyed great success thus far as Galway caption and while he is grateful, he is not surprised.
Speaking ahead of last year's All-Ireland final, he told The Irish Times: "Yeah, in fairness we had belief and confidence, and me personally in our team.
"Padraic has tried to instil it since he has come in that we should be fighting for All-Irelands. Thankfully now this year we have kicked on an extra step and we are in one. We are just looking forward to it now."
Sean has deep roots within Galway team.
His late father, Padraig "Dandy" Kelly was a much loved player in the 1980s, and sadly passed away in November 2001.
His brothers Paul and Eoghan are also part of the current team.
"We are busy enough, all going training together. It is a bit of a family affair with three of us in there, but it is an honour for the family," Sean told The Irish Times last year.

Is he in a relationship?Sean Kelly is in a relationship with Faith Varden, who is also from Galway.
