Sports Book of the Year
Congrats to Donal on his accolade. He deserved it after letting us see his other side.

Snide remarks aside, it was a very good read.
Tom Humphreys did a great job.
Billy Morgan's book wasn't upto much, just shows the importance of a good ghostwriter.

I think he won mainly because he is the first openly gay GAA player. The GAA prides itself on being manly but Donal Og has blown this out of the water. Fair play to him.
The only drawback was he went into too much detail with his expoits in vietnam waking up beside one of the local men

Meant to be a great read.
Don't know if I could do 500 pages on Irish basketball but a super book as well by all accounts
