Seán Óg Ó hAilpín is a one-of-a-kind Irish sportsman, the iconic hurler of his generation. He became synonymous with Cork hurling during a period when the Rebel County reached the highest of highs and was regularly gripped by controversy. 
 
 All of this would have seemed pretty unlikely when Seán Óg was born in Fiji in 1977. Now, Seán Óg tells his own story in his own words - a story every GAA fan has been waiting to read. Full of frank insights, Seán Óg's autobiography is not just an essential sporting story; it is an essential Irish story.
