35 years on, Mick O’Dwyer is still haunted by Seamus Darby’s goal

Mick O’Dwyer admits that Kerry’s last-gasp, 1982 All-Ireland final defeat to Offaly still haunts him and he contemplates the setback at least once a week.

The RTÉ documentary, Micko, which will be screened on Monday, chronicles the Waterville man’s life and footballer career. In it, O’Dwyer says the defeat which denied the five in a row is “implanted in my mind”.

The 82-year-old, who reveals there are days when he is unable to speak, due to old age, was depressed for days following Seamus Darby’s goal.
