O’Gara has never been shy about the fact that he's fond of a drink and a bet, and he confronts his critics head on in this book. Yet as in any sporting career, there have been the setbacks as well, most notably Ireland's disappointing performance in the Rugby World Cup in France last year.
Ronan O'Gara: My Autobiography
Description
Book SynopsisRonan O'Gara is one of the greatest sportsmen Ireland has ever produced.
It's all O'Gara
Conor George, Evening EchoSmoothly written... O'Gara reveals what really went on in a divided dressing-room as a series of flat performances sent the Irish crashing out, while he personally had to deal with a series of front-page allegations about his private life. He is brutally honest in his observations, is very hard and unforgiving on himself and tells it like it is.
With the assistance of Denis Walsh, this is a sweetly struck penalty of a book: revealing and hard-nosed
Robert Kitson, Guardian
Perhaps the finest sports book of the year and among the best Irish sports biographies ever written... It is a hallmark of the man... A brilliant kicker both from the hand and at penalty goals, a sublime orchestrator of play from the out-half position he has made his own, and a cool head in the pressure-cooker of club and international rugby, the list of the Cork man's achievements goes on and on.
The leading points scorer in Irish rugby history, the Six Nations and the Heineken Cup. The architect of two amazing Munster triumphs in Europe. O'Gara kicked a perfect five out of five in the 23-19 win as Munster lifted the coveted trophy for the first time, sparking wild celebrations heard all the way back in Limerick and Cork.
His candour means that he does not avoid discussing the darker aspects of his personal life
Leo McKinstry, Sunday Telegraph
Candour is a defining characteristic of O'Gara's and pervades his autobiography... open and honest. The list of the Cork man's achievements goes on and on: he is the leading points scorer in Irish rugby history, and one of the top ten in the world; the leading points scorer in the history of the Heineken Cup; and the first ever points and try scorer at the home of Gaelic sports, Croke Park.
Nothing is off limits, his world is laid bare and people are left to make up their own minds about the subject... Ronan O'Gara: My Autobiography is the unforgettable story of a rugby player at the top of his game, of a life lived to the full, and of a passionate and proud representative of the people of Cork and Ireland.
Munster's recent story is compelling and O'Gara has been a central figure.
