Ó Sé

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine. Its in each others shadow that people live.

Marc Ó Sé is the youngest member of the most famous footballing family in Ireland – the Ó Sé family of Ard an Bhóthair, Co. Kerry. As such his football path was clear from a very young age. Not only did Marc have his brothers to emulate, in Kerry the voices from the past can often speak loudest. How loud is the volume when your own uncle is the inimitable Páidí Ó Sé?

More than just a revealing account of Marcs own glittering career, Ó Sé is laden with the tales and anecdotes, and the successes and failures that have marked the storied history of this footballing dynasty. It is an ode to those who have gone before, a nod to those who soldiered alongside and a fitting tribute to the unique ties that bind within the GAA community.

Dublin vs Kerry was always special and this book brought back great memories of battles with my fiercest opponent on the pitch, and a friend off it. Bernard Brogan

A book full of character and stories of great characters. Not just for Gaelic football fans either. Matt Cooper
