Book excerpt: Ireland's love affair with Gaelic Games in general, and Gaelic football in particular, has never dimmed. Through the lean days of hunger and emigration, through the champagne-mojito-flavoured years of the Celtic Tiger and on after it slunk away with its tale between its legs, Ireland's love affair for 'our games' has endured.Fact-packed but light-hearted in style, this reliable reference book and a quirky guide reveals little-known facts and Gaelic football along with details of classic matches, statistical records, famous players, amusing anecdotes, and the general history of the game. This can be dipped into time and time again to reveal something new about this ancient game.
