Thrilling to see The Game on the Irish Bestseller lists this weekend. Ranked first in the Sports Books category. Ranked fifth in the general non-fiction category. Thanks so much to everyone who bought The Game.
Everything, the Autobiography of Denis Coughlan was chosen as one of the Irish sports books of the year in three newspapers. The Irish Times: Malachy Clerkin said that the book was ‘gorgeous, lyrical and redolent of a different time in some places but also strident and insightful about modern GAA tensions in others’.

The Irish Examiner picked it as one of the 10 sports books to read for Christmas, Enda McEvoy saying: ‘A warm, chatty and immensely enjoyable book, with the presence as ghostwriter of the novelist Tadhg Coakley adding a sheen of class.’ Click here to see the link.
I was thrilled to see the book on the list of top selling Irish sports books. It reached number four on the list on The Sunday Independent on October 18th.
