Post-playing Career
Away from the playing fields O’Donnell was regarded as a quiet and a shy individual. In 1984 he was back in the limelight again when he was named in the full-back position on the Gaelic Athletic Association’s Hurling Team of the Century. His reputation as the undisputed greatest full-back of all-time was further cemented in 2000 when he was named in the No.3 position on the Hurling Team of the Millennium.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
