The frank and revealing autobiography of Ireland's most controversial pundit

The Rocky Road is the autobiography of Eamon Dunphy - the man the Guardian called 'the most entertaining, blindingly brilliant pundit of all time'.

For more than thirty years, no commentator on Irish sport, politics and culture has been the object of so much love, hatred and fascination as Eamon Dunphy. Now, for the first time, Dunphy tells the remarkable story of his own life - from his childhood in Dublin, through his experiences as a footballer at Manchester United and a series of smaller clubs, to his return to Ireland, where he became a remarkably influential journalist.

In one of the most hotly anticipated Irish autobiographies of recent times, Dunphy bravely and brilliantly takes us behind the scenes of a passionate life.

Reviews for The Rocky Road

An absolute cracker ... provocative, endlessly entertaining, occasionally over the top but brimming with passion and heart. A memoir worthy of the life and times it describes Irish Times Outstanding ... To paraphrase the great man himself, it's not a good book, it's a great book Irish Independent Absorbing and heartfelt Sunday Business Post Excellent ... a exceptionally engaging read Irish Mail on Sunday A cut above the typical 4-4-2 sporting autobiography ... full of delicious anecdotes Sunday Times It's a testament to his succinctly brutalist skill as a writer that The Rocky Road remains fascinating even in its most wrong-headed moments Sunday Business Post Warm, passionate, angry and funny Irish Daily Mail Doesn't pull any punches Hot Press
