About the Book

01 September 2001, Lansdowne Road: Ireland vs Holland. With the Dutchmen standing firmly between them and the World Cup, the task Ireland faced seemed impossible to fulfil. What followed, however, was completely unexpected. In one of the biggest upsets ever seen in soccer the Irish team beat the formidable Dutch team to gatecrash the party. But for Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane - the chief architects of this extraordinary achievement - there was no warm victory embrace. They shook hands briefly and awkwardly. In a moment that foreshadowed the most extraordinary debacle in Irish sporting history, the manager and his captain behaved like strangers, with no hint of the cameraderie said to exist in the team. Paul Howard examines the complex and explosive dynamic between the two men who brought the Irish team to the World Cup, but whose relationship could not endure to the final round. He talks to the players, the management team and the fans, and raises serious questions about the FAI and its handling of the situation.

About the Author :
Paul Howard helps Ross O'Carroll-Kelly to write his autobiographical series, largely because Ross can't really write, roysh? Find out more at rossocarrollkelly.com. He is also the author of the bestselling prison expose, The Joy, and co-author of Celtic Warrior, the autobiography of boxer Steve Collins. A former Sports Journalist of the Year, Paul covered the World Cup in Japan and Korea in 2002, and the rugby World Cup in Australia in 2003. His account of the Irish soccer squad and the notorious drama in Saipan, The Gaffers: Mick McCarthy, Roy Keane and the Team they Built, was a bestseller. Paul has also written several massively popular plays and has won the popular fiction prize at the Irish Book Awards three times for books in the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series.

Review :
'The best parts of it come after meltdown in Saipan where the writer's short, staccato accounts of each of Ireland's games in Japan and Korea are thrilling, even though anyone reading knows exactly what's coming next' 'Compulsive reading'
