Product Description
Published 2005
In 1933 Cavan were the first Ulster team to wrest the Sam Maguire Cup from the stranglehold that the southern counties had on the trophy. After five remarkable wins, the Breffni men passed the baton to the now legendary Down teams of the 1960s. After nearly twenty-five years in the wilderness, Ulster rose again with Down, Donegal and Derry achieving four consecutive wins in the 1990s, laying the groundwork for a further renaissance when Armagh and Tyrone brought the All-Ireland title back to their respective counties for the first time in their histories.
Based on exclusive interviews with the men involved in these famous victories, including Mick Higgins, Paddy Doherty, Noel Hegarty, Brendan Tierney and Cormac McAnallen, this is the fascinating story of Ulster's Sons of Sam. All of the celebrated teams are here, as are the star players who line Ulster's GAA Hall of Fame: John Joe O'Reilly, Joe Lennon, Mickey Linden, Martin McHugh, Anthony Tohill, Kieran McGeeney, Peter Canavan and more.
Packed with entertaining anecdotes, blow-by-blow accounts of each classic match, and illustrated with well over one hundred excellent photographs, this is the essential book for all followers of Ulster Gaelic football.
