History of Gaelic Football

by: Eoghan Corry
Gaelic footballers and their followers receive no payment, have no transfer system, and remain loyal to their home county as players or supporters. This is more than a sport -- it is a subculture of its own: with songs, stories and ceremonies that are unique in the sporting world. In this fascinating book, Eoghan Corry describes: * The emergence of teams and players whose new tactics brought success as well as the rivalries, near misses and failures which entered the folklore of the game * How the early rule makers observed existing pastimes, prevalent in both urban and rural areas and turned them into an organised sport * How regional and international influences helped shape Gaelic football and how it has been changed by the games, players, innovators and officials in every decade since the GAA was founded in 1884.
