Glory Nights and Heartache is a book for anyone who has stood on a cold terrace, argued with a referee they’ll never meet, or sworn they were finished with football only to be back the following week. It brings together writers who love the League of Ireland not at a distance, but up close. Each essay centres on a single match and what followed from it: the journeys, the rivalries, the disappointments and the rare, unforgettable nights when everything went right. These are stories of clubs and towns, of families and friendships, of hope that refuses to disappear. Funny, moving and brutally honest, it captures why following Irish football gets under your skin - and never really lets you go.

Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
