The Autobiography by Seán Óg Ó Hailpín
Sean Og O hAilpin, the iconic hurler of his generation, tells his own story. Sean Og O hAilpin became synonymous with Cork hurling during a period when the Rebel County reached the highest of highs and was regularly gripped by controversy. Making his trademark barnstorming solo runs from left wing-back, Sean Og emerged as the lynchpin of the great group of Cork hurlers that won five Munster titles and three All-Irelands; in 1999 he contested All-Ireland finals in both codes. He was also central in standing up for players' rights against the Cork county board - a source of great controversy and two painful strikes. Now, Sean Og tells his own story in his own words - a story every GAA fan has been waiting to read. Full of frank insights, Sean Og's autobiography is not just an essential sporting story; it is an essential Irish story. "A captivating tale of family, identity and belonging". (Sunday Business Post). "Hugely enjoyable". (Evening Echo). "Sean Og's autobiography is a fine read. What an extraordinary figure he is". (Sonia O'Sullivan). "Riveting". (Irish Daily Star). "Excellent ...a really enjoyable read". (Christy O'Connor, Evening Echo).
