Özet

The youngest of seven children from a hurling-obsessed Portumna family, Joe Canning was steeped in the game from birth. Regarded as a prodigy from the moment he stepped onto the pitch as a boy, he burst onto the national radar aged just 19, scoring 2–12 for Galway in a narrow defeat to Cork. But it would be another nine summers before he would lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup. Over the next decade, the whole country became fixated on Galway’s quest for glory and the many struggles along the way: would Joe Canning be the greatest hurler never to win an All-Ireland medal?

Pulsating with a unique sense of family and community in a place where hurling is a way of life, Joe Canning’s memoir reflects on the standards of excellence he sometimes felt chained to, the suffocation of trying to meet other people’s expectations and the personal battles that brought perspective to a singular focus on winning. Thoughtful and revealing, this is the remarkable story of one of Ireland’s greatest hurlers.

Really enjoyable book, it’s a pity that the narrator mispronounces some of the best known hurlers and places associated with hurling throughout the book. Having a narrator who is familiar with the game would have added to it. Joe narrating himself would have been much better.

Very enjoyable. More revealing than standard GAA autobiography

Great story, great person but the narrator is very poor at pronouncing multiple place names, particularly Killimor and then absolutely bastardises the pronunciation of bas.

Still, if you didn't know anything about Hurling or Irish geography you wouldn't notice.

Frustrating pronunciation of certain places and words

Joe gives a very insightful and honest view of what the life of a ln inter county player. While his views are honest it is refreshing to hear that he is human. Not that. We did not know this but we do tend to think that player have it easy and are superhuman. And they are to an extent with the complexities of having the same issues us mere mortals have to deal with. Good on you Joe.

Insightful and honest
