Pic of Day: Legendary GA player and coached Mick O'Dwyer has died aged 88. While O'Dwyer coached several counties he is best remembered for his coaching of the Kerry footballers. President Michael D. Higgins, in a tribute, stated: "May I join with all of those who have expressed their sadness on learning of the death of Mick O'Dwyer. Mick O'Dwyer will be remembered as one of the greatest figures ever to be associated with Gaelic Games.
"Micko, as he was affectionately known to all, was deservingly inducted into the GAA Hall of Fame in 2014. As both a player, and in particular as a manager, he was astonishing successful. The Kerry team which he led to eight All Ireland titles was one of the finest that Gaelic football has ever seen.
"Beyond his native Kerry, Mick will be warmly remembered by the people of Kildare, Laois and Wicklow for the success which he subsequently brought to their counties, as well as for his contribution to Clare.
May I express my deepest sympathies to Mick's family, teammates, former players, and all of his many friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal."
