Mickey Harte (Irish: Mícheál Ó hAirt) is the current (and most successful) manager of Tyrone Gaelic football team, and has so far led them to three All-Ireland titles, three Ulster titles, one National League, and four Dr. McKenna Cups. Before Mickey became the Tyrone Senior Football Manager he managed Tyrone Minors (1991-1998) and Under 21's and won the All-Ireland with both these teams. 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 well known around his county and country as one of the most shrewd and cunning tacticians in the game today, and is particularly admired by former Armagh manager (and his former rival), Joe Kernan,[3] and the former Derry All-Ireland winner, and television pundit, Joe Brolly.[4] Mickey Harte is also a member of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, a Catholic group that refrains from consuming intoxicating substances. His occupation is as a Technical Director with Sporttrackerjobs[1] Recently he has started writing a weekly column for Northern Irish Newspaper The Irish News. To date the column has focussed on umpires, refereesand other humorous Gaa topics. In October 2009, he published his autobiography, Harte[5].
