Mickey Harte Personal information Irish Name Mícheál Ó hAirt Sport Gaelic Football Born Tyrone Club management Years Club Errigal Ciarán Inter-county management Years County 2003- Tyrone Inter-county titles County League Province All-Ireland Tyrone {{{league}}} 4 3 Michael "Mickey" Harte (Irish: Mícheál Ó hAirt) is the current (and most successful) manager of Tyrone Gaelic football team. He has led the team to three All-Ireland titles, three Ulster titles, one National League, and four Dr. McKenna Cups to date (as of August 2010).
Raised in Ballymacilroy outside Ballygawley, County Tyrone, Harte managed Tyrone Minors (1991–1998) and Under 21's and won the All-Ireland with both these teams before he was named the Tyrone Senior Football Manager. He guided the Under 21 team to two All-Ireland Under 21 titles and three Ulster Under 21 titles.[1] He led the Minors to an All-Ireland Minor title and three Ulster Minor titles.[1]
He subsequently managed his home club of Errigal Ciarán and was successful with this team as well, winning the Tyrone County Championship and Ulster Championship.[2]
Harte is considered to be one of the best tacticians in the game, and is admired by both peers and former rivals,[3] including former Derry All-Ireland winner, and television pundit, Joe Brolly.[4]
Harte is a member of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, a Roman Catholic fraternal group that refrains from consuming intoxicating substances. Harte backed a 2009 book opposed to contraception within marriage.[5] Harte works as Technical Director with Sporttrackerjobs.[6]
In 2009 he began writing a weekly column for the Northern Irish newspaper, The Irish News. To date his column has focused on umpires,[7] referees[8] and other GAA-related topics.
In October 2009, Harte (with the help of Michael Foley) published an autobiography, Harte: Presence Is The Only Thing. It was published by Poolbeg (ISBN 9781842234198).[9]
In January 2011, Harte's daughter, Michaela McAreavey, was murdered on her honeymoon in Mauritius.[10][11]
