By now, I knew that watching sports was what fulfilled me, and I completely immersed myself in everything on offer.’
In the summer of 1985, in the midlands of Ireland, a young boy is suddenly awakened to a new and exciting world. Sport, in all its Technicolor brilliance, blazes into view, and a life is altered forever. From the thrills of Italia ’90 to the tribulations of supporting Laois, from Shoot magazine to Subbuteo, Goal-den Days is the coming-of-age memoir of a sports fanatic.
Filled with memories of glorious games and outstanding athletes, demoralising defeats, and valiant victories, Goal-den Days is a sporting mix tape in book form, that will resonate with all those who collected Panini stickers and wore Mikasa gloves to training.
