I thought Donegal played well in 2014 final. The mistake the goalie made in his poor kick out, resulting in Donaghy's goal, gifted the game to Kerry.

Heard him on the radio, sounds like he was over ten years visiting grounds so should be packed full of information.

There's one book I'd love to see out there and it's the King, Frank Mc Guigan. Don't know if he ever was approached to write one but for me it would be some read. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2152 - 05/01/2024 20:38:09 2518546 Link 1 |

Read Haye's book, the updated version, great read alright but looking back on comment at the time it didn't go down well with a lot of his peers. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3048 - 19/01/2024 19:03:16 2521023 Link 0 |
Great recommendation and a brilliant read, pity there are no video recordings of those great games and players from years ago, amazing how some counties done so well away back then, the likes of Cavan and Louth etc. it was the 60's before Donegal started making any inroads, Galway and Down had some mighty teams back then too and of course the ever present Kerry and Dublin powerhouses.

Early this year I released my own book called "Goal-den Days" and would be delighted if anyone wanted to support it. It's not exclusively a GAA book, but there is lots of GAA within, and suitable for anyone who grew up in the 80's. Lockjaw if you read this, I think it's write up your street based on your World Cup interest. Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 803 - 11/04/2024 13:08:21 2537327 Link 0 |

Almost no good GAA books published these days. Poorly Ghost written hagiographies and tired old anecdotes. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3191 - 07/07/2024 20:49:43 2557528 Link 1 |
One Sunday by Conor Mortimer is a mighty book, noteworthy for its detail and truthfulness.

That would be interesting if the full story of the coup comes out and how MD dealt with the protagonists when he took over. As well of course if he goes into details about his own treatment. I sincerely hope he has written it himself or at the very least dictated it as ghost written books are invariably dire and tame.
