Mick O’Dwyer dead: Taoiseach leads tributes to Kerry GAA icon who leaves behind ‘unmatched sporting legacy’

MICK O’Dwyer, Kerry GAA icon, has passed away at the age of 88 it’s been confirmed.

As a manager he led his county to Sam Maguire on EIGHT occasions in addition to winning four All-Ireland medals as a player.

19 September 2015; Tipperary’s Jimmy Finn who captained his side to All-Ireland glory in 1951 and Kerry legend Mick O’Dwyer who both received the GPA Lifetime Achievement Awards for hurling and football respectively at the GPA Former Players Event in Croke Park. Over 400 former county footballers and hurlers gathered at the annual lunch which is now in its third year. The event is part of the GPA’s efforts to develop an active player alumi.

He was an inter-county manager all the way into his late 70s

An Taoiseach Michael Martin has led tributes after the death of a legend that will rock the GAA fraternity nationwide.

He said: “I am deeply saddened at the passing of Mick O’Dwyer – an icon of Gaelic Games.

“Micko lived and breathed Gaelic football. He embodied everything good about the game – dedication, ambition, positivity and community.

“His sporting legacy is unmatched. He will forever be one of Kerry’s iconic players, winning four senior All Ireland medals in 1959, 1962, 1969 and 1970.

“During his tenure as manager in 1975 to 1989, Kerry took the Sam Maguire Cup back to the Kingdom eight times.

“Over his sporting career, Micko appeared in 21 senior All Ireland finals – an outstanding achievement in itself.

“After the Kingdom, Micko had further success as a manager, leading Kildare and Laois to Leinster titles and guiding Wicklow to a Tommy Murphy Cup win.

“The Waterville man’s intercounty career lasted well into his seventies, until he retired as Clare manager in 2014 at the age of 77.

“Despite his many, many sporting achievements, Micko remained humble. In RTE’s 2018 documentary on his life, Micko famously said: “I had a marvellous run, but wasn’t I lucky to be born in Kerry.”

“Kerry, and all of us, were lucky to have him.

“My deepest sympathies to all his family and the entire GAA community.

“Solas na bhFlaitheas ar a anam. Leaba i measc na Naomh go raibh aige.”

I lost 7stone after going to Turkey for dream weight loss surgery – but it turned into nightmare I couldn’t even imagine

[/boxout]

But again, the results were shoddy and Christina noticed her nipples were wonky and completely different sizes.

“I also had a lump of fat hanging down the side of one of my breasts,” she says.

“And the scarring from my tummy tuck was higher than my bikini line, which they promised wouldn’t happen.”

She flew back to Turkey to see the surgeon for a third time in 2023, who said the size difference in her nipples was due to thicker scarring on one side.

He told her that her tummy tuck scar was unavoidable, as he’d needed to make a higher incision to target excess flesh around her waist.

Christina says he then refused to see her again, leaving her bearing the mental and physical scars of her £12,000 surgery ordeal.

She says: “For anyone considering surgery abroad, do your research. Speak to other women who’ve done similar.

“But they will probably all say the same thing: ‘Don’t do it.’”

He was reportedly thrown from his seat and crushed under the wheels of the trailer.

The truck driver is understood to have fled the scene after the accident.

Passing motorists pulled over and called the emergency services 

Cops arrived at the scene and found the Brit lying dead in a pool of blood on the dusty ground.

His off-road style scrambler bike was wedged under the truck several yards in front of him.

A police spokesman said: “The victim’s body was taken to the hospital for a post-mortem examination.

“Both vehicles were impounded for further investigation. The driver of the truck was not at the scene, but his details were obtained later.

“The cause of the crash is still under investigation. If the truck driver caused the death, he will be prosecuted.”

The Sun has approached the Foreign Office for a comment.

Moment Celtic boss ripped into Hoops squad after ‘all the cups are at Ibrox’ quip sparked fury

CELTIC are enjoying an incredible spell of dominance in Scotland with 12 of the last 13 league titles.

But a former Hoops star has opened up on the attitude at Parkhead at a time when Rangers were top dogs.

Celtic endured a rare trophyless season in 1986-87, watching as Rangers won a league and League Cup double.

So the attitude going into the 87-88 season would have been Celts having a point to prove – although one of their players from that season has revealed that some were in less serious moods than others.

Mick McCarthy moved to Parkhead in 1987 from Manchester City, going on to win the league and Scottish Cup in the Hoops’ more successful 1987-88 campaign – the season in which the club famously celebrated it’s centenary.

The former Ireland international has told EFL Unfiltered about his experience in Scotland, including the moment he saw an iconic Celtic boss flip his lid.

Reflecting on the most memorable aspect of playing for Celtic, he said: “The different profile it gave me in Ireland, playing in the double [winning] team in 1988 – my profile and popularity, if you were a player in Ireland and playing for Celtic, was huge.

“But the day we were having the team photograph, I realised what I was getting into.

“There’s no trophies in front of us, we’re all sat down and Billy McNeil comes and sits in amongst us.

“One of the lads says ‘Where are all the cups?’, and someone says ‘They’re at Ibrox’.

“You could’ve heard a pin drop.

“Billy McNeil went into one, and rightly so, because we were laughing about not having any silverware in front of us.

“He ripped into us about what it means to be a Celtic player.

“‘You don’t go to St Mirren, and you don’t go to Dundee United and you don’t go to Hearts and get a famous draw.

Brexit saves UK from worst of Trump’s tariff wrath as EU clobbered with DOUBLE blow & Labour insist ‘we WON’T escalate’

[/boxout]

Mr Trump, who spoke for nearly an hour, later signed an executive order having delivered his speech and said the reciprocal tariffs would “make America wealthy again”.

He added that yesterday was “the day America’s destiny was reclaimed and the day we began to make America wealthy again”.

He said: “For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe.”

The President went on to single out overseas countries who had taken advantage of American car workers, farmers and tradesmen who have lost out.

He also blamed former presidents and leaders who let the situation get out of control.

A trade war is in nobody’s interests and the country deserves — and we will take — a calm, pragmatic approach.

Keir Starmer Prime Minister

Mr Trump said: “They watched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our jobs.

“Foreign leaders have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.”

Speaking from a lectern with a backdrop of US stars and stripes flags, the President rattled off a string of trade imbalances he said had punished American workers for decades.

His Vice President JD Vance was also in attendance alongside his senior Cabinet team at the “Make America Wealthy Again” event.

Trump pointed out that the US charges just 2.4 per cent on imported motorcycles, while countries like Thailand, India and Vietnam slap on tariffs as high as 75 per cent.

And he said America had only been charging a 2.5 per cent tariff on foreign-made cars, while the EU levies more than ten per cent plus steep VAT rates.

The announcement came after PM Sir Keir Starmer visited the Oval Office at the end of February where they discussed an economic deal.

Meanwhile, Lord Sugar has warned against retaliating by saying any measures “wouldn’t touch the sides”.

The Apprentice host told LBC Radio: “I don’t know what negotiation we can have with this man.”

He added that “it’s no good battling with him or arguing with him”.

It also comes after Sir Keir appeared to make a last-ditch plea for Britain to be spared the tariffs plan.

‘CALM & PRAGMATIC APPROACH’

The PM said: “A trade war is in nobody’s interests and the country deserves — and we will take — a calm, pragmatic approach.

“That’s why constructive talks are progressing to agree a wider economic prosperity deal with the US.

“That’s why we’re working with all industries and sectors likely to be impacted.

“Our decisions will always be guided by our national interest, and that’s why we have prepared for all eventualities — and we will rule nothing out.”

Britain could also become a destination for imports diverted from the US due to the high cost — which could flood the UK market and hit domestic producers.

But Chancellor Rachel Reeves warned that Britain would not be “out of the woods” even if a trade deal could be secured.

Speaking to the Treasury Select Committee earlier yesterday, she said: “We don’t want to be posturing here. The prize on offer is a good economic agreement between us and the United States.

“We are not going to do anything to put that in jeopardy. We are not going to rush into action to get a quick headline.”

Prime Minister's plans after tariff blow

The Prime Minister is set to speak to business leaders while the Trade Secretary will look to calm markets on Thursday after Donald Trump slapped a 10% tariff on US imports of UK goods.

Downing Street suggested they had been vindicated in their approach to negotiating with the US in the hope of securing an exemption.

No immediate retaliatory measures are expected from Westminster, as officials continue to focus on securing an economic deal with their counterparts in Washington.

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to meet with businesses on Thursday, after warnings that the changes will be a “blow” to UK firms.

The 25% levy on cars had been expected, but the 10% rate on other goods was lower than had been expected, with fears that it could have been set at 20% to mirror VAT.

The Conservatives described the tariff announcement as “disappointing news” that will “worry working families”, but suggested that Brexit had spared the UK from a higher rate of taxes.

Shadow trade secretary Andrew Griffith said: “The silver lining is that Brexit, which Labour ministers voted against no less than 48 times, means that we face far lower tariffs than the EU.

“A Brexit dividend that will have protected thousands of British jobs and businesses.”

Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey suggested the situation calls for closer collaboration with Europe.

Accusing Mr Trump of kicking off a “destructive trade war”, Sir Ed said: “The Prime Minister should bring our Commonwealth and European partners together in a coalition of the willing against Trump’s tariffs, using retaliatory tariffs where necessary and signing new trade deals with each other where possible.”

UK negotiators are pursuing an economic agreement with the US focused on technology. It could include changes to the Digital Services Tax — which imposes a two per cent levy on major US tech companies — in exchange for a carve-out deal, which Sir Keir did not deny.

Easier access for American agricultural products could also be on the table, but the UK insists food standards will not be lowered.

Downing Street refused to rule out a bailout plan for industries affected by the tariffs when pushed yesterday, after the PM said the UK was prepared for all eventualities.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said he would update MPs on Thursday morning regarding the UK’s response.

Mr Reynolds said last night: “Nobody wants a trade war and our intention remains to secure a deal.

“But nothing is off the table and the government will do everything necessary to defend the UK’s national interest.”

Trump unleashed his tariffs last night – but what do they mean for Britain?

Deputy PM Angela Rayner, meanwhile, said it would be ridiculous to cancel Trump’s unprecedented second state visit in response to the tariffs.

She said: “I don’t think that’s where we’re at at all. It’s not about who visits the King or not. It’s about putting the British interest first.”

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch earlier said a trade deal was the best way to avoid tariffs and urged “significant diplomacy”.

She said: “Some people will want us to have trade retaliation. That just makes everyone poorer.”

On Tuesday evening, Treasury minister James Murray said that he would not give a “running commentary” on negotiations.

But he added the “principle” of any decision would be “businesses paying their fair share”.

What will the immediate impact be for the UK?

At the very least, there will be huge uncertainty and companies are already having to pause their investments or shipments to the US while they wait for the full impact of Trump’s onslaught.

Trump’s 25 per cent tariffs on all imports of steel and cars, will hit British manufacturers such as Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover.

And one influential trade group has warned a 10% tariff on imports from the UK will deal a “major blow” to small and medium businesses.

Currently, 59% of small UK exporters sell into the US market, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) said.

Tina McKenzie, the FSB’s policy chair added: “Tariffs will cause untold damage to small businesses trying to trade their way into profit while the domestic economy remains flat,”

“The fallout will stifle growth, hurt opportunities, and put a serious dent in the global economy.”

What does it mean for consumers?

One word: Pain.

Tariffs are a nightmare for business because they make the flow of goods around the world much more expensive.

As we found out from the hangover of the pandemic, any snarl in supply chains leads to prices soaring.

If the UK snaps back and imposes tariffs on US goods, it would make products such as Levi’s jeans, Jack Daniel’s and Harley-Davidsons much more expensive for British consumers.

There is the counter argument that goods could become cheaper as companies divert products originally destined for the US to the UK.

But, in the long-term, the big risk is that this so-called “diversionary trade” ends up flooding our market with cheap imports, ruining British homegrown companies who can not compete and costing thousands of jobs.

‘If he manages it, there will be a statue’ – Ange Postecoglou told what it takes to become Tottenham legend this season

TIM SHERWOOD believes that Tottenham will stick with under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou.

And the former Spurs boss, 56, reckons that a statue will be built of the Aussie if he can turn things around.

It has been suggested that Postecoglou’s future may hinge on Tottenham’s Europa League fate, with the Lilywhites set to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals next week.

Speaking exclusively to SunSport, via OLBG, Sherwood said of his former club: “There’s going to be a lot of pressure on everyone involved if they don’t win the Europa League, but that’s part and parcel of managing at a big club.

“If you don’t get success, there is a chance that there might be a change. But genuinely, I don’t believe Daniel (Levy) wants to do it (sack Postecoglou), and I don’t think he will.

“I would like to see Postecoglou stay at the club and get some more players in.

“I think he needs help in the transfer market, in recruitment. I think Daniel spends the money, but I think what they’re spending it on has not been fantastic.”

Sherwood still reckons that there could be a STATUE of Postecoglou erected in North London, should Spurs win the Europa League.

He added: “They were winning football matches and everyone was really encouraged going into this season and they did get crippled with a bad injury list, but they would like to have done better.

“But I still believe they can win the Europa League. They can win it and they can go to the Champions League next season on the back of it and there will be a statue of Ange Postecoglou outside of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if he manages it.”

Postecoglou himself has admitted that he may end up managing somewhere else next season.

He said: “I know what my responsibilities are. I’m sure if the club decides to go in a different direction, there’s some outstanding candidates out there for it.

“And you know what, maybe someone will think, ‘Ah Ange Postecoglou’s not a bad coach, maybe we’ll take a punt on him’.

“It doesn’t rock my world. It doesn’t consume me. I’m here, I’m passionate about what we’re doing.

“I was brought in to change the way the club plays, rejuvenate the squad, bring success, I’m focused on that. That’s what I’ll keep doing.”

‘I DON’T THINK HE’LL SACK HIM’

With Spurs going into tonight’s clash with Chelsea languishing in the bottom half, patience appears to be wearing thin – with Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola a contender to replace Postecoglou at the end of the season.

But Sherwood would like to see his old side give Postecoglou a third campaign – and doesn’t believe that Daniel Levy, who sacked him in 2014 after coming sixth, will pull the trigger.

The former England international said: “I don’t think Daniel Levy wants to sack Ange Postecoglou and I don’t think he will sack him.

“I really don’t. I just think he appreciates what he’s brought to the club since last season.

“I think he realises that it’s been a difficult year but there have been mitigating circumstances to why they haven’t picked up the results, but I would still say he thinks they should’ve done a bit better.”
