Mick O’Dwyer R.I.P

Posted on by

GAA legend Mick O’Dwyer has passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a remarkable legacy in Gaelic football that spanned decades and touched counties across Ireland – including Clare.

Best known for leading Kerry to an incredible eight All-Ireland titles as manager, O’Dwyer was a transformative figure in the sport. But his influence reached far beyond his native county. In 2013, at the age of 77, O’Dwyer took on the role of Clare senior football manager – a move that brought excitement and national attention to the Banner County.

Though his time in Clare was brief, it marked the final chapter of a legendary inter-county management career. His arrival brought belief, professionalism, and a lift in standards that inspired both players and supporters.
GAA President Jarlath Burns paid tribute, saying Mick O’Dwyer would be warmly remembered in Clare, alongside other counties he managed, for the energy and knowledge he brought to the game.
O’Dwyer’s contribution to Clare may have been short-lived, but his impact was lasting – a final act from one of Gaelic football’s greatest minds.
Mick O’Dwyer – a true giant of the GAA, remembered fondly in Clare and beyond.

[By Adrian O’Connor]


Mick O’Dwyer interviewed in December 2012 for the RCB Sports Show by Niomh Madigan and Paul Kenny.


Statement by President Higgins on the death of Mick O’Dwyer.

May I join with all of those who have expressed their sadness on learning of the death of Mick O’Dwyer.

Mick O’Dwyer will be remembered as one of the greatest figures ever to be associated with Gaelic Games.

Micko, as he was affectionately known to all, was deservingly inducted into the GAA Hall of Fame in 2014. As both a player, and in particular as a manager, he was astonishing successful. The Kerry team which he led to eight All Ireland titles was one of the finest that Gaelic football has ever seen.

Beyond his native Kerry, Mick will be warmly remembered by the people of Kildare, Laois and Wicklow for the success which he subsequently brought to their counties, as well as for his contribution to Clare.

May I express my deepest sympathies to Mick’s family, teammates, former players, and all of his many friends.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
