About the Book

Kerry is the most successful county in Gaelic football with a long history and many heroes. This collection of interview-based essays surveys Kerry footballers since 1903, their first All-Ireland success. Featured are 100 proud wearers of the green and gold, some amongst the most successful, others who weren't lucky enough to bring home an All-Ireland medal. Current stars interviewed include Colm 'Gooch' Cooper and Kieran Donaghy while names from the past range from Joe Barrett and John Joe Sheehy to Mick O'Connell. All represented Kerry with distinction and have a story to tell. There are long-forgotten tales and unknown gems of cycling, gun-running, gambling and drinking; some tell of troubled times and civil war; others are amusing and controversial anecdotes of recent training styles and successes. All have helped shape Kerry football.
