Mick O’Connell was one of the greatest Gaelic footballers of all time. On retirement from playing O’Connell published his autobiography, ‘A Kerry Footballer’, in 1974. Ten years later in 1984, the GAA’s centenary year, his reputation as one of the all-time greats was recognised when he was named in the midfield position on the GAA’s Football Team of the Century. In 2000 O’Connell was also named on the associations ‘Football Team of the Millennium.’
