John O'Mahony, one of Gaelic football's greatest managers, has passed away after a battle with cancer. O'Mahony won eight Connacht titles (more than any other manager in the competition's history), two All-Ireland titles with Galway (1998, 2001), and managed multiple counties including Galway, Mayo, and Leitrim. A former player and colleague pays tribute to his mentorship, tactical brilliance, and father-figure leadership.
