Four-time All-Ireland winner Anton O'Toole has passed away aged 68.
Dublin legend O'Toole began his intercounty career in 1972, and "The Blue Panther" won his first of four Celtic Crosses in Kevin Heffernan's first campaign as Dublin manager in 1974, starting at corner-forward in a win over Galway.
He went on to lift Sam Maguire three more times, in 1976 against Kerry, 1977 versus Armagh, and finally in 1983 with another win over the Tribesmen, reports Dublin Live.
O'Toole played in six consecutive All-Ireland Finals between 1974 and 1979, forming part of a legendary Dublin forward pack that went shot for shot with their Kingdom rivals on four occasions in the final during that stretch.
O'Toole also won eight Leinster titles, was a three time All-Star, and lifted the National League trophy twice in his time in the blue jersey.
He later went on to have a successful career in club management, guiding his Templeogue Synge Street side to the county intermediate title in 2008.
"It is with sadness this morning that we report the passing of the great Anton O’Toole," the club said this morning.
"Our condolences to his family and all his many friends from all of us at TSS."
