What is Sporting Legends Of Ireland about?

Nominated for the William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year Award 2010, Sporting Legends of Ireland chronicles the lives of leading Irish sportsmen and women from across all disciplines with a focus on those players who, though professionals, were for the most part gifted individuals in an amateur world. It profiles stories of players and gentlemen in a time when the Celtic Tiger largely passed them by and tells of the first Grand Slam and the Lions tour where the call-up was simply, 'Bring your own shirt'. It also records momentous moments in Irish sporting history from the perspective of the heroes themselves. Fully illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs by James Fennell, Sporting Legends of Ireland includes exclusive interviews with 44 sporting icons such as Olympic gold medallists Ronnie Delany, Michael Caruth and Dame Mary Peters, Irish soccer hero Packie Bonner, show-jumping maestro Eddie Macken, rugby giants Jackie Kyle and Willie John McBride, snooker ace Ken Doherty, champion jockeys Ruby Walsh and Charlie Swan, hurling legends Eddie Keher and DJ Carey, cycling hero Stephen Roche, running champions Sonia O'Sullivan and Eamon Coghlan, Gaelic footbal
