From one great to another, Mick O’Connell has paid his respects to his contemporary, divisional and county team-mate Mick O’Dwyer.

Seven months O’Dwyer’s junior, the South Kerry men won all four of their All-Ireland senior titles together – 1959, ’62, ’69 and ’70 – as well as 12 Munster championships. They were also along one another for three senior county championships with the division in the mid-1950s.
