Laois hoping Micko magic works again

MICK O’DWYER loves Dublin. Scratch that, Mick O’Dwyer loves beating Dublin. In 1959, he played his first game for Kerry against them in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Thirty years ago he guided the greatest football team in the game to a memorable All-Ireland over the Dubs, to launch what became to be known as the Golden Years.

And, he had some great tussles with them in his first spell in charge of Kildare when they frustrated him many times in League and championship before what he described as "getting his own back" second time round.
