Whatās he saying
Missed this tonight must check it out. Did he tell the story of how he forced them to take him back for the second spell of his Kerry playing career? A great yarn
He was a hungry auld bollox. Whoring himself around the country for cash when he already had lots of it. Poaching players away from weaker counties to play for his latest project. And while itās sad to see how age has caught up with him he hasnāt lost the ability to slap himself on the back repeatedly.

He brought joy hitherto unimagined to my county and Kildare. Heāll always hold a special place for that reason for the people of both. The accusations of him taking money etc, well thereās cunts going around taking it and delivering fuck all. Micko delivered, even in Wicklow. He earned his money.

100%. Who gives a fuck what he got he earned it
I enjoyed that.
At least heās 81 making them. Not like that prick Tony McCoy.
The back slapping was JustinMcCarthyesque

Precisely. He can be accused of a lot of things, but that one was always the most laughable. His strike rate was phenomenal.
He spoke about money quite a bit
It was unsettling

A great watch. The story, the man, the scenery, the great players. Some great memories. Nice to see the Spillane clips so that these young fellas could see that he was much much more than a pundit. Mickey Ned getting cleaned out. Remember watching it live. Hadnāt realized how close to the goal he was. And the size of the gut on Jimmy Keaveny.

That was a really enjoyable hour of tv. It would put ya in good form while watching it. Some great old clips from the archives especially from the dressing rooms.
Like him or not he brought a great buzz to the GAA. He brought great joy to many counties more so than any politician or other media figurehead could ever dream of.
I thought he was very honest and spoke well about old age and how losing 82 affected him. He had a great gra for that group of players.

@myboyblue hatred of the Dubs and the ādrive for fiveā makes sense now.
Micko was lucky to have been born before Dublin took football seriously.

Sorry to go all @GeoffreyBoycott on you pal but Dublin won 15 All Irelands prior to the birth of Mick OāDwyer and 12 subsequently. Looks like they took it slightly more seriously before he was born.
