It may seem strange to us now, but for a long time, with Ireland
ruled by Britain, it was against the law to play sports like
hurling and Gaelic football. That has all changed, and football,
hurling and camogie are Ireland's most popular sports. Gaelic
sports icon Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh shares his lifelong passion
for the GAA with young readers, as he guides them through its
history, and its most iconic stadium, Croke Park. The stadium
changed as Ireland changed, and it has been the venue for some of
the most memorable matches in our history, as well as major
historic events like Bloody Sunday. Micheál picks his favourite
players, matches and incidents from history and talks about the
thrilling experience of commentating on games, and seeing the
fabled cups - Sam Maguire, Liam McCarthy, O'Duffy and Brendan
Martin - being held high by the All Ireland winners. A must for all
young GAA fans.
