Tipperary manager Colm Bonnar says Padraic Maher's retirement from hurling came as a 'complete shock'.
The six-time All-Star has been forced to call time on his career due to a neck injury.
Maher collected three All-Irelands and five Munster titles during a 13-year stint with the Premier County.
Bonnar described the Thurles Sarsfields man's career as 'unbelievable'.
Meanwhile, Wexford's Harry Kehoe has also departed the inter-county game after 13 years service.
