Hoggie
€ 24.99
ISBN: 9781804584941
'HE WAS, AND STILL IS, AN ORNAMENT TO THE HURLING AND WIDER SPORTING WORLD,
HAVING PROVIDED A LIFETIME OF MOMENTS AND MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST FOR AN ETERNITY'
- CHRISTY O'CONNOR
From the evenings spent striking frees in the fading light of the Glen Field to the white-heat of Munster finals, All-Ireland heartbreaks and county glory, for the first time Patrick Horgan brings readers deep inside the world of elite hurling: its psychology, its brutality, its joy.
Relive encounters with a cast of characters from the last twenty years of Gaelic games, hear anecdotes still slick with sweat from Munster finals and All-Irelands, and receive an in-depth tutorial on hurley maintenance and ball-striking technique from one of the greatest ever to do it. It's all here.
But readers will learn a lot more. About the family member whose bravery inspired Horgan during his career and continues to inspire him. About personal reinvention. About the incredible focus and attention needed to maintain standards. Get ready for Hoggie - a story of passion, resilience, family and a lifelong devotion to hurling from one of the greatest forwards of the modern game.
