Yer man who scriobhs on here has a book out, see on the gaa discussion page there. tactics not passion.

I enjoyed oisin mcconvilles book about his gambling addiction and if ye can get houl of it, jerome quinn wrote a book in 1995 about ulster football. Some amount of stats in it and good interviews.

Yeah, Tactic Not Passion sounds good alright.

When did McConville write his book?

2007 I think. Im a man for the oul books!!

CorkMan

Nice. I might look at that, thanks. Any other suggestions?

The club by christy o connor about a year in the life of a club is not a bad read either. I think there maybe a thread about this a few years ago. Have a gander back there and ye might come across it lad.

It's pretty average, considering how bigged up it was at the time.
