Crowds set to ‘turn up anyway’ in Micko’s honour

A bronze statue stands to Mick O’Dwyer in his native Waterville in south Kerry. Earlier this year RTÉ aired a documentary on his life. And now the famous football manager will be honoured with a civic reception by councillors and officials in Tralee.

Today Micko, now in his 82nd year, will be the subject of a packed reception at Aras an Chontae.

The county building is near the football sculpture at the Clashlehane Roundabout where four men reach high for the ball on the field of play.
