Ireland's most iconic hurler tells his own unique, gripping story

Sean

g

hAilpin is a one-of-a-kind Irish sportsman, the iconic hurler of his generation. He became synonymous with Cork hurling during a period when the Rebel County reached the highest of highs and was regularly gripped by controversy.

All of this would have seemed pretty unlikely when Sean

g was born in Fiji in 1977. Now, Sean

g tells his own story in his own words - a story every GAA fan has been waiting to read. Full of frank insights, Sean

g's autobiography is not just an essential sporting story; it is an essential Irish story.
