Cody accepts honorary DCU doctorate

Brian Cody showed his conciliatory side yesterday as he accepted an honorary doctorate of philosophy from Dublin City University.

The 10-time All-Ireland-winning manager was joined on the Glasnevin campus by family, friends, county board officials and former team-mates as he was conferred with the “honoris causa” accolade, which is the highest credit the university can bestow on an individual.

Speaking at the event, Cody said a large part of his management is understanding and appreciating the respective work and study requirements of his players.
