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 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 was murdered while on honeymoon in Mauritius.[10]
