I like reading about individual feats and past great players. Always loved the GAA Greatest players' books. Plenty on the market.

Yea I read this, good read also. Davy is some boy. Very determined individual.

Just finished reading Paddy Russell's book, The Final Whistle. Interesting one as well. He went through a lot.

Dan O'Neill's book that is coming out sounds like it might be worth a read, ghost written by Liam Horan, so I would expect that he has done a good job on it. (Deel you have the info)

Last Man Standing is the goalie book. Great altogether.  Brian Cororan's book "Every single ball" is a good read. Covers his childhood an not just the football & hurling.
