"Mick Galwey is the archetypal passionate rugby player that everybody can come to terms with.Everybody can see what he has and what he has is the ability to say the right thing at the right time". - Keith Wood,captain of Ireland. For close on twenty years,Mick Galwey has been one of the most recognisable sporting figures in Ireland.An All-Ireland football medal winner with his beloved Kerry in 1986 while still in his teens,he went on to make the first of his 41 appearances for the Irish rugby team five years later. Galwey hails from a small village near Castleisland called Currow.But it's no ordinary village.It has produced four Irish rugby internationals,three of whom represented the British and Irish Lions.In this autobiography,Mick traces the path his life has taken from his earliest days in Kerry and on through his many triumphs and experiences in Shannon,Munster,the Lions and Ireland. He is unique in that no other holder of an All-Ireland football medal has gone on to captain his country at rugby.Nor has any player represented Munster for as long or as loyally.Mick is still an active member of the Heineken Cup team (then 2002) and made his 47th consecutive appearance in the Munster jersey in Thomond Park in October 2002.
