Description

Dublin and Kerry. They were the aristocrats of Gaelic football, with over fifty All-Ireland titles between them, but as the 1974 season dawned the fans of these two great counties could not have guessed what lay ahead. For the first time, Tom Humphries tells the full story of Dublin and Kerry, on and off the field, over the decade that followed a decade defined by a rivalry that lifted the sport to heights of drama and popularity that it had never known before. With his unmatched knowledge of the men involved and his characteristic stylishness, Tom Humphries is the only writer who could have told this great story.
