Art McRory is a former Tyrone Gaelic football Manager. He was the manager on and off during for nearly twenty five years, leading Tyrone to their first two periods of relative success - the All-Ireland Finals of 1986 and 1995. Although they never won the All-Ireland under his management, McRory is still regarded as one of the great Tyrone managers, having won an unprecedented five Ulster Championships under his guidance (1984, 1986, 1995, 1996, 2001).[1]
He formed an extremely productive relationship with Eugene McKenna, both when McKenna was a player under McRory, and as a manager alongside him.
He left Tyrone management in 2002, after a disappointing exit in the Championship Qualifiers to an unfancied Sligo, ostenisibly due to health concerns, but there is also speculation the parting with the Tyrone County board was acrimonious.[2] This paved the way for his successor, Mickey Harte, who has guided Tyrone to two All-Ireland crowns.
He has a keen interest in classical music, and has been seen at Operas by sports journalists.[2][1]
