Critics Review
From unwelcoming veterans to arseboxing and collapsing human pyramids to marching to the Hill to startled earwigs to champs, Cotter has it all covered in a very well-written and insightful read – Kieran Shannon * Irish Examiner *
This book offers fascinating insight into the egos, dressing room divides, and bad habits which held the county back on the field. … [It’s] full of honest and witty interviews with players, coaches and officials from that revolutionary period. – RTÉ Culture * Darren Frehil *
Fascinating – Kieran Cunningham * Irish Daily Star *
Cotter has done some terrific interviews … the raw, hard-nosed nature of the Dublin dressing room at the end of the 1990s jumps from the page. … Well worth anyone’s time – Malachy Clerkin * Irish Times, Sports Books of 2018 *
