All of this would have seemed pretty unlikely when Sean g was born in Fiji in 1977. Now, Sean g tells his own story in his own words - a story every GAA fan has been waiting to read. Full of frank insights, Sean g's autobiography is not just an essential sporting story; it is an essential Irish story.
