Dublin v Kerry by Tom Humphries an author who has since fallen from grace. A great book documenting one our greatest sporting rivalries, much of will be requoted in the next 3 weeks. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7667 - 10/08/2013 14:16:15 1458105 Link 0 |
Fishermantom, The Wild Geese book is good. Mind you whoever thought giving them north county savages sticks needs to have a good hard look at themselves!. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 10/08/2013 14:25:41 1458110 Link 0 |
A super read is "The Road to Croker" by Eamonn Sweeeney. Concentrates on the 2003 season so a touch old but brilliant, he travels to games all over the country and tells the story of that season with passion. I think it would stand the test of time and worth a pop. delboy1 (Antrim) - Posts: 7 - 10/08/2013 17:20:10 1458247 Link 0 |

I have Michael Duignans, Mickey Hartes and Donal Ogs autobiographies under the bed waiting to be read. In the middle of Ireland's professional amateurs which is only alright, struggling to get into it. The Club and Keys to the Kingdom are both fantastic. Eddie O'Sullivans autobiography is also brilliant from a non-gaa point of view. square_ball_69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 826 - 10/08/2013 19:29:37 1458326 Link 0 |
