If only Dublin GAA has gotten micko when they went for him
We couldnât afford him
I had the Dublin mug in the 80s pal. I stand by what I said. 14 of those titles were won before 1924 FFS. Teams full of Kerrymen living in Dublin working for the British armed forces.

Mossy and the boys will ensure that doesnât happen again
As Garth Brooks once sang at his Croke Park concert âI thank God for unanswered prayersâ
Unfortunately when an elderly wife or husband dies the one left behind is never too long being called to their eternal reward either. Hopefully he can see out his remaining days in some degree of comfort.
He wants to go out with a bang on the sidelines or in a stand watching football so hopefully he gets his last wish
When Dublin couldnât afford him he came back to Laois in â04 and took his job back on that infamous night on The Heath. He was an awful rogue bless him.

Its a well known fact that football titles won prior to 1930 are 5 times more valuable than those won afterwards
The Dubs ended up as Mickoâs bitch.
Hopefully Micko is alive to see the Dubs win 5 in a row.
You are forever on here claiming that the GAA is dead. Bemoaning the organisation that it has become. Claming with some justification that it is overly commercialized with too many people with their snouts in the trough. Well Micko was one of the first to put his snout in the trough and he kept it there for 30 years. He was a pioneer for all the carpetbagging managers and coaches that dominate the GAA landscape today.

The GAA is dead. Its dying in rural Ireland, and its barely alive in urban areas.
Micko delivered on what he promised. We gave Teddy Mac the same money to to get done for drinking driving at the exact time he was meant to be on a sideline.
Micko didnât kill GAA. He fucking set fire to it.

I couldnt help but notice that. Iâm not sure it needed to be put in by the Galway producer. Probably a puck in the ribs for '83.
There was a huge bond between Micko, his team the Heffo. I remember at Heffos funeral the church was thronged with former Kerry greats.

That is correct.
I loved the old footage of the interviews over the bonnet of the car in Mick OâDwyers garage in Waterville. It reminded me of a time when the âbuild upâ to an All Ireland would consist of a slot on Sport Stadium where Mick Dunne would be standing in a farmyard and two hurlers would roll in in a Datsun and be interviewed by Mick across the car with the sound of cows lowing in the background.

Mick Dunne was a lovely man. Even if he was a Clonaslee man. A pioneer of GAA reporting.
