Darragh: My Story

by Darragh O Se

For 16 years, Darragh Ó Sé has worn the number eight 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 who has helped carry the torch for the home of football. Uncompromising, passionate, and possessed with a savage wit, Darragh talks openly for the first time about his life in the green and gold, and about his constant drive to succeed. Elsewhere in the book, he details his setbacks, reflects on a family tragedy, and reveals how his environment on the fringe of West Kerry helped shape his character, steeling him for a career in the toughest position in Gaelic football. This is the story of Darragh Ó Sé—a life in the engine room.
