Description

The frank and revealing autobiography of Ireland's most controversial pundit.

The Rocky Road is the autobiography of Eamon Dunphy - the man the Guardian called 'the most entertaining, blindingly brilliant pundit of all time'.

For more than thirty years, no commentator on Irish sport, politics, and culture has been the object of so much love, hatred, and fascination as Eamon Dunphy. Now, for the first time, Dunphy tells the remarkable story of his own life - from his childhood in Dublin, through his experiences as a footballer at Manchester United and a series of smaller clubs, to his return to Ireland, where he became a remarkably influential journalist.

In one of the most hotly anticipated Irish autobiographies of recent times, Dunphy bravely and brilliantly takes us behind the scenes of a passionate life.
