The 50 Toughest, Meanest, Scariest Hard-Men in Football History

They were men equally respected and feared. They were scary at times. And, throughout their careers, they were acknowledged as the ‘Hardest’ men who ever played gaelic football.

This unique book examines the 50 toughest men who ever played the game, including Meath’s Mick Lyons, Dublin’s Gay O’Driscoll and Keith Barr, Kerry’s Tim Kennelly and Bomber Liston, Cork’s Niall Cahalane, Derry’s Brian McGilligan, Tyrone’s Ryan McMenamin, Armagh’s Francie Bellew and Kieran McGeeney, Down’s DJ Kane, Mayo’s Colin Boyle, Donegal’s Michael Murphy and Neil McGee, Offaly’s Martin Furlong and Paddy McCormack, Monaghan’s Gerry McCarville, Sligo’s Barnes Murphy, and Donegal’s Neil McGee.

For the first time, these legendary men of steel take a bow in one book which celebrates their brilliant careers, and extracts first person testimony from so many of their opponents and victims.
