From the Publisher:
In this extraordinary life story, Moss Keane is brutally honest about how the awkward boy who couldn't get onto his school team became the rugby icon who played his 50th Cap for Ireland in Twickenham. Making his debut in Currow's under-14 GAA football team, he graduated to playing for Kerry's under-21s and for University College Cork where Sigerson Cup victories followed. But when a challenge from the rival rugby club was issued Moss had found his calling. From Ireland's 1974 International Championship win, his first season out, to a near-death experience at the hands of a vicious mugger, from the second row Munster man who fought against the All Blacks in Thomond Park 1978, to volunteering in Calcutta with GOAL, and from Lansdowne FC victories and the '82 Triple Crown triumph, to the Lions Tour of New Zealand, Rucks, Mauls and Gaelic Football reveals that for a giant of a man there's more to Moss Keane than meets the eye!
