One more spin on the merry-go-round for a legend

THE certainty that Mary Carmel was always there, minding the business and the kids, sent Mick O’Dwyer out the front door for 50 years with a gear bag and peace of mind.

Therefore the irony isn’t lost on the Peter Pan of gaelic football that he was rarely about the place in Waterville when Mary Carmel was hale and hearty. When are you going to give up that travelling and football and get a life for yourself, she would quiz him.

Now he feels the need to get out of the house to stay sane.
