The Search for Sam Paul Healy
In the summer of 1995, the sports highlights included such athletes as Sonia O'Sullivan and Jonah Lomu. This book provides an insight into how the quest for All-Ireland glory is seen through the eyes of thousands of ordinary fans across Ireland. From Navan to Clones, and Croke Park to Castlebar, the author attends the major matches, capturing in the process the atmosphere, rivalry and humour that are unique to championship Sundays in Ireland. He reflects on a memorable summer, on and off the field, on each new Sunday conveying the crack, forecasts and drama outside and inside Ireland's top GAA grounds. Other opinions, highlights of play and results of the day are summarized in each chapter.
