Ken McGrath : Hand on Heart Paperback / softback
by Ken McGrath, Michael Moynihan
Paperback / softback
Description
Ken McGrath is an icon in Waterford and beyond. He won three All-Star hurling awards and embodied the defiance and panache that re-established his county as a hurling superpower. And in a career marked with skill and bravery in equal measure, Ken McGrath has overcome serious injuries to produce match-winning performances. But a dazzling playing career is only half the story.
In the firestorm of the downturn McGrath lost his sports shop.
Then he was stricken with a brain haemorrhage and later, after months of uncertainty in hospital, he was diagnosed with a heart problem which necessitated life-saving surgery. And it is a measure of the esteem in which he’s held that one summer’s evening, at Walsh Park, almost ten thousand supporters attended a benefit game to show their appreciation for one of the greatest-ever hurlers. Hand On Heart tells the tales of the great rivalries with Cork and Kilkenny, championship wins with Mount Sion and the on-field controversies that had everyone talking.
It’s also the extraordinary and inspiring story of how Ken McGrath overcame serious illness after an incredible fight for life.
As both a sporting and a human story, Hand On Heart is a truly remarkable and uplifting read.
