Recalls and celebrates the careers of the finest players in the history of the football game. Embracing great players from each of the 32 counties, this title includes various major household names, men who have won coveted All-Ireland, provincial and National League medals.Because of their successes, the premier football counties occupy a very prominent position in the book. Not forgotten, however, are the large numbers of great players who did their counties proud on representative teams but sadly never achieved championship greatness themselves. Likewise, "Giants of Gaelic Football" includes outstanding players from weaker counties, players like Mickey Kerins of Sligo who would have walked onto any team in the country at any time. The true greats are all here: Mick O'Connell (Kerry), Sean Purcell (Galway), Jimmy Murray (Roscommon), Paddy O'Brien (Meath), Brian Mullins (Dublin), Sean O'Neill (Down), Jimmy Barry Murphy (Cork), Willie Bryan (Offaly), Larry Stanley (Kildare), Tommy Murphy (Laois), Mick Higgins (Cavan), Jim McKeever (Derry) and many, many more. "Giants of Gaelic Football" is a book for every lover of the game to treasure. |
