Product Description
Kerry native Moss Keane, who moved from GAA in his native county to playing rugby for Munster and Ireland, including being part of te 1978 win over the All Blacks and part of the 1982 triple Crown win.
Moss Keane is undoubtedly one of the great characters of Irish rugby, part of a unique fraternity who inspired the sport.
This is a true autobiography,taking us in Moss's own words from his childhood to the time of writing in 2005. It is full of unexpected laughs and stories that make this an effortless read that will leave a smile on your face each time you put it down.
Even when describing the time when he was mugged, Moss finds a humourous angle ; sure wasn't the brick that was used to hit him on the head found in bits afterwards !
Right throughout, Moss doesn't boast about his achievements, showing almost as much pride in his caps for UCC as his 51 caps for Ireland.
Later in his life, it is no surprise to find Moss supportive of charity work with GOAL and the Lions Club; an easy choice for a man of such integrity.
This book rightly deserves it place in the hall of fame of Irish sporting greats.
