€12.50

One of the greatest GAA footballers of the modern era, Paul Galvin has enjoyed a brilliant and at times controversial career. Winning four senior All Ireland medals with Kerry and eight Munster championships, he was also a three-time All Star and 2009 Footballer of the Year. His inter-county career took off in the late 1990s, when he picked up a Munster minor championship medal in 1997 and another at under-21 level in 1999. But it was in the senior team throughout the 2000s that Paul came into his own. In a period defined by great rivalry with Tyrone, he became a key playmaker for Kerry, never failing to give his all in pursuit of victory.

Over the course of a career marked by courage, physicality and an intense passion for the Green and Gold, there were many glorious days. There were other days too, with controversial incidents that led to a number of suspensions, most notably in 2008, the year in which Paul also had the honour of being the Kerry captain. 2009 brought redemption. But 2010 presented new challenges.

In this fiercely honest autobiography, Paul offers - in his own words - a compelling, unflinching account of a career that has fascinated football fans for over a decade.

Twenty Years A-Growing

O'Sullivan, Maurice
9780192813251
Maurice O'Sullivan was born on the Great Blasket in 1904, and 'Twenty years A-Growing' tells the story of his youth and of a way of life which belonged to the Middle Ages. He wrote for his own pleasure and for the entertainment of his friends, without any thought of a wider public; his style is derived from folk-tales which he hear from his grandfather and sharpened by his own lively imagination.

Becoming a Lion

Sexton, Johnny
9780241966358
As of May 2009, the author was the little-known backup fly-half for Leinster, the chronically underachieving Irish province. Four years, three Heineken Cups later and one British and Irish Lions tour victory later, he is by some distance the leading fly-half in the northern hemisphere. This book tells his story.
