| book description |
This book tells the stories of some great GAA locations and the people linked with them. It includes obvious places like Croke Park, the Polo Grounds, Hayes's Hotel, Biddy Early's lake, the family, to less obvious places like, Fiji, East Belfast, Ellis Island, and an internment camp in Wales. We also visit the club: the unbroken chain in the GAA's ageless passing of wisdom before taking a bypass on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams to a barber's shop and a car park. Full of compelling revelations such as for the first time Jack Lynch's startling admission in his final interview of the big regret of his career; the GAA's first miracle; why Kevin Heffernan lost his temper with Bernard Brogan; why Liam Griffin was told he would become a laughing stock; the story of Limerick's gate-crasher and the day Seán Purcell rose from the dead.
