The author of the beloved From Don Sion to Croke Park is back with stories, sporting and non-sporting, from seven decades of travels near and far

Micheal

Muircheartaigh is best known as the voice of the GAA. But his interests and enthusiasms - sporting and non-sporting - go far beyond the fields of Gaelic games. In his new book, the follow-up to his bestselling memoir From Don Sion to Croke Park, Micheal brings us along on his travels around the world, and to the villages, townlands and sporting fields of the four provinces of Ireland. He recalls great days at the races and in sporting stadiums big and small, and great nights in the dance halls. Above all, he tells the stories of these places and the people he has encountered there - stories told as only Micheal can tell them.
