'A must-read. Mighty craic. Different class.' BRIAN D'ARCY

A celebration of the greatest treasure in GAA's long and illustrious history: ITS PEOPLE.

In a fast-changing world, the GAA has given us a fixed point in our lives and Gaelic games have given us so many truly extraordinary people.

Each of their unique stories in some way offers a revealing snapshot of the GAA, as we salute the great and the good of Gaelic football, women's football, camogie and hurling - along with some less obvious and surprising choices.

And with fascinating revelations like Séamus Mallon's personal memory of the Good Friday Agreement, the superstar who kneeled before Jimmy Magee, John O'Mahony's late evening and Ger Loughnane's big regret, this revised and updated edition of Extraordinary GAA People is the perfect way to celebrate the extraordinary people of the GAA.
