Twenty of the greatest legends in Gaelic soccer history are exclusively profiled in this star-studded companion to the RTE radio series. Among the interviewees are Kerry legend Mick O'Connell and Galway's Sean Purcell, who vividly recount the golden age in the 1950s and 1960s, while Sean O'Neill describes Down's historic breakthrough in 1960. The great Kerry teams of the 1970s and 1980s are also represented by stars including Pat Spillane, Mikey Sheehy, Jack O'Shea, John Egan, and Eoin Liston, while Dublin's Jimmy Keaveney and Brian Mullins assess their most memorable battles with the Kerry giants. Gaelic Football's Top 20 is crammed with anecdotes of the great contests and controversies that have dominated Gaelic soccer in the last half a century. Offering rare insights and behind-the-scenes analysis, it should be essential reading for all fans of Ireland's most popular sport.

During the past 15 years, the GAA has gone through a renaissance, taking center stage in the Irish sporting arena, enjoying a greater groundswell of support than ever before. In GAA: The Glory Years, Ronnie Bellew tells the story of these remarkable 15 years—of the events on and off the field, the breakthroughs, the controversies, and the personalities behind a golden era that has seen the GAA reinvent itself to become the hottest ticket in town.

Football, be it Gaelic, rugby, or soccer is unquestionably the most popular team sport in Ireland. Surprisingly, the modern codes of Gaelic, Rugby, and Assocation football in Ireland are little more than a century old. R.M. Peter's pioneering Annual was published in 1880. Reproduced here, it provides voluminous detail on more than 600 players and 50 clubs of the time: it is a mine of information for the sports enthusiast, the historian, the genealogist alike.
