Shay Given and Jason Sherlock’s sporting lives are examined in two well-researched and accessible new books by Natasha Mac a’Bhaird and Donny Mahoney

I would definitely recommend this book to any enthusiastic Irish soccer fans Aaron Lett, age 12

* Ireland’s Own *

The statistics of Shay Given’s illustrious career as a goalkeeper for the Republic of Ireland football team speak for themselves – but the story behind his love for the beautiful game is just as compelling. From a young age, Given was playing soccer with his brothers in Donegal, dreaming of representing his country. His journey from that beginning to the international stage is a compelling and inspiring one, and Mac a’Bháird does it great justice, bringing us into the early days of Shay Given’s sporting career.
