Fenton has chosen now to end his glittering career after ten seasons in blue, having amassed seven All-Ireland medals and two Footballer of the Year awards.
His partnership with James McCarthy was a particular area of strength for Dublin. Now, they have lost both players in a manner of just days.
Given his age, the retirement of McCarthy came as no particular surprise, but at 31, Fenton's decision will shake the entire Gaelic football landscape.
Fenton was a late developer who only got one season with the U-21s before his football career exploded, making his debut in 2015.
