If Dublin v Kerry captivated the sporting world in the 1975-85 decade, the Heffo v Micko sideline rivalry formed a fascinating sub-text in a fierce battle of wits.

"We didn't talk very much – hardly at all, in fact – but we both knew what was going on in the other fella's mind. We both got great satisfaction from out-witting the other. There was always a huge respect between us," said O'Dwyer.

Dublin's return to the All-Ireland summit in 1974 was followed almost immediately by O'Dwyer's appointment as Kerry manager. He had watched Dublin expand so dramatically that year that he knew Kerry would have to do something special to match them.
