Speaking on his retirement he said "My days of rolling up the match programme tightly in my hand and heading out to patrol the sidelines are over. I'd be happy to give a bit of advice from time to time if anyone wants it but I won't be managing again. That's behind me now,". ==Biography== Mick O'Dwyer was born in Waterville, County Kerry in 1936.
