Brian Cody: If you start thinking about past achievements, you’ll live in the past

Mick O’Dwyer probably doesn’t even realise it and Brian Cody didn’t care a whole pile about it when informed but a significant passing of the baton occurred at Croke Park.

Cody’s 15th Leinster title success as Kilkenny manager moved him ahead of the legendary Kerry football figure in the provincial pecking order.

In the modern era of individual managers, nobody else has matched those achievements and there is no sign of Cody letting up anytime soon either.
