Mick O'Dwyer

[5 Sams]

Read a bit of it in Sunday papers. Great article. He has his views on most things and is at a stage of his life that he can say what he likes. Like all the others is also looking for the Xmas book market

I read those excerpts as well.....I got the impression that he was backing the GPA "money for the players" campaign because if he wasnt seen to be doing that he would be the ultimate hypocrite.

[The Lord of Luuuvre]

The Lord of Luuuvre will not be purchasing this book.

The Lord of Luuuvre believes Mick O'Dwyer has enough money already without The Lord of Luuuvre lining his pockets.

Besides, The Lord of Luuuvre has better things to do, like reading Keith Duggan's book about Mayo.

Before Corporate GAA you could get 30k Kildare supporters at a game now we are struggling to get 3k...

It's amazing what a bit of positivity can do. The man has it in spades. His greatest gift as a manager was instilling belief into players no matter how limited they were. Supporters bought into it as well.

Everything about inter-county GAA these days is mired in negativity. How things have changed in less than twenty years.

His greatest interview

His greatest interview

if that was a Meath game they'd have been gone home with the cup by that stage

[Sandy Hill]

...... And he did it all without taking a penny from any county board; some man for one man!!

Happy 80th Micko. What a legend.

Probably my favourite game under him was the 2000 Leinster Final replay. I stood on the hill for the first game and I was half glad we didn't win. That's for another day.

But the replay brings back memories. Struggling all over the field and 6 down at half time (I think). The Hill singing and laughing. That didn't last long. Within two minutes we were level and dominated the second half. It was like men against boys. Won by 5 in the end with Dublin only getting 2/3 points in the second half. It made it even sweeter that Tommy Carr was the Dublin manager.

Before Dublin got their millions in coaching grants
