Great Moments in Gaelic Football cover

New, updated edition.

Gaelic football is Ireland's native sport. Fast, physical, athletic and driven by local and national rivalries, it is a unique part of our heritage. Ray McManus and his team at Sportsfile are as passionate as all true sports fans, and have been taking photographs for over forty years. They have been at All Ireland finals, of course, but also at club matches throughout the land.

With reminiscences from photographers and players alike, this book is a look back over the decades at the legendary players, matches and moments that have contributed to the narrative of one of the world's most exciting sports. A must for Gaelic Football fans wherever they are.

First published in 2016, this edition includes the return to crowds at matches after the pandemic, Mayo ending Dublin's historic run, and Tyrone's ascent to the top step of the podium.
