Every Single Ball
'You might never have seen a hurling game in your life but within ten minutes of seeing Brian Corcoran play you'd know and say "That man with that helmet is special." He just has an authority a grace a presence that elevates him from everything else which surrounds him' - Ger Loughnane
The year 2006 was about more than an historic three-in-a-row bid for the Cork hurlers; it marked the last year in the inter-county career of probably the county's finest and most revered hurler of the past 20 years. In Every Single Ball Brian Corcoran gives us a riveting insight into the workings of the most professional team the GAA has ever known as they sought hurling immortality. He also takes us through in his refreshingly candid and sincere way one of the most varied and lengthy careers of modern times and the personalities highs trials and tribulations he encountered along the way. He brings us into the training grounds and dressing-rooms of Billy Morgan Larry Tompkins Canon O'Brien and Jimmy Barry-Murphy recalls the torment and frustration that caused him to walk away from hurling at only 28 and reveals how just like his hero Michael Jordan he came back and fell in love again with his sport and with winning. Quite simply Every Single Ball is the story of one of Ireland's greatest sporting comebacks sportsmen and sports teams.Format:Paperback

Fantastic book. Amazing what these amateur athletes go through for the love of the sport. Corcorans very personal story is a window into the sacrifices and triumphs of one of the greatest modern day hurlers in Ireland. A must read whether you're a passionate GAA supporter, or can appreciate a great sports autobiography.
