Jim McGuinness book was a good read. John O'Mahoney's was very good really enjoyed that. Most disappointing book was Tomas O'Se I thought you would get more of a insight to what goes on behind closed doors within a big superpower like Kerry. Didn't give much away. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 08/01/2016 17:14:11 1815365 Link 0 |
Is this book good? I thought it was mainly guess work so I never bought it. Has anyone read the hurley makers son? Looking for a book this Christmas brisbane (Galway) - Posts: 675 - 21/11/2023 15:50:57 2514048 Link 0 |
Thanks for reviving this topic Brisbane. Always some good tips on it. I haven't read either of those books but the Hurley makers son looks a good read. King of September by Michael Foley and Dublin V Kerry by Tom Humphries are very good. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7667 - 22/11/2023 06:56:54 2514116 Link 3 |
"Green Fields - Gaelic Sport in Ireland" was another very good book by Humphries. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2628 - 23/11/2023 16:25:50 2514332 Link 1 |

The Jackie Tyrell book is well worth a read. Also another book from a few years back called Last Man Standing is excellent, it's about Hurling Goalkeepers, thoroughly enjoyable, as is Dalo's book. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2088 - 03/12/2023 20:55:58 2515389 Link 0 |

'Hooked' by Justin McCarthy & Kieran Shannon is the best GAA book ever written, and I've read a tonne of them. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2559 - 03/12/2023 22:02:32 2515397 Link 0 |
I gave up reading both Thomas O Shea's book and Brian Cody. O Shea's was all about his uncle Paidi and Cody's was a long spiel about nothing. Sure that man was never going to reveal any secrets
