Henry Shefflin regards the drawn 2012 All-Ireland final as the best performance of his glittering career.
After months of speculation the 36 year old has confirmed his retirement from inter-county hurling.
The 10 time All Ireland winner received a standing ovation when he appeared before a packed press conference in Langtons Hotel in Kilkenny.
He revealed that Brian Cody wanted him to continue playing for the Cats, but says he came to the conclusion over the weekend that it was the right time to leave.
