Modern managers could take leaf out of Micko’s book

You watched the Mick O’Dwyer documentary. Of course you watched it. The entire country did and fell in love with Micko all over again.

The fade! The roguery! The Hans Zimmer music at the end that made middle-aged men all over Ireland rush out suddenly to make another cup of tea! And more roguery!

Loosehorse, the production company which served up the programme, deserves huge praise - they conveyed O’Dwyer’s charisma and personality over a span of 50 years and opened a gusher of O’Dwyer anecdotes which has flowed unceasingly since.
