Description
Green Shoots: Irish Football Histories by Michael Walker explores the complex and often divided history of football in Ireland. From its early days to the present, the sport has been shaped by individuals and events that have had a lasting impact on the country. The author delves into the stories of those who contributed to the growth of the game, including pioneers like William McCrum, who invented the penalty-kick, and Billy McCracken, who changed the offside law in 1925. The book also examines the country's experiences in major international tournaments, such as World Cups and European Championships, and how these events have defined moments in Ireland's modern history. Through a blend of original archival research, travel writing, and interviews with key figures, Green Shoots offers an engaging account of Irish football's inside stories, dramas, and dreams.
