I remember years ago John Kelly used to host a late night artsy programme on RTÉ 1. There'd be a section where the panel reviewed latest video releases.
Anyway in the runup to Christmas 1998 the panel were reviewing A Year til Sunday & David Norris was on the panel. When asked for his view, Norris said he was bored stiff by the video, but he found the tradition of the losing manager addressing the winners as "quite extraordinary".
It cut to the clip of Micko addressing the victorious Galway team with humility, wit & grace. I was never Micko's biggest fan, but that clip always stuck with me. As much as he won, the measure of him was how he reacted to defeat.

His greatest legacy is what he did after he finished with Kerry. RIP
