Book description
For 16 years, Darragh à Sé wore the number 8 jersey for Gaelic
football's most celebrated county, stoking the fires in Kerry's engine
room. With six All Ireland medals, he is the most decorated footballer
of the modern era.
Darragh's name is synonymous with his county's unrelenting appetite
for success, but throughout his illustrious career he has held his
counsel, allowing his football to do the talking. Until now.
This is the story of a modern Kerry icon. Uncompromising, passionate
and possessing a savage wit, Darragh talks openly for the first time

position in Gaelic football.
