Details: Synopsis Mick Oa??Dwyer is one of the great legendary figures in the GAA. His achievements in Gaelic football are unrivalled, his expertise unparalleled and his enthusiasm unquenchable throughout a remarkable career that has spanned the inter-county scene for more than fifty years. Blessed and Obsessed is Oa??Dwyera??s deeply personal account of how as an only child who was driven by an incredible passion for football since his earliest days in Waterville, he progressed into an outstanding Kerry footballer prior to becoming an even more famous county manager, first with Kerry, then with Kildare, Laois and currently with Wicklow. Based on his abiding philosophy that hard work and unremitting dedication make every goal attainable, his story transcends sport to form a fascinating blueprint for those with an ambition to reach the top in any sphere of life. More than that, it provides a revealing insight into the changing face of Ireland since the 1940s as seen through the keen eye of a sporting icon and a successful businessman. Oa??Dwyer holds an honorary Doctorate from University College Dublin, is a member of the Irish Sports Council and is also a patron of the Carers Association.
