All-Star Gazing

50 years of the GAA All-Star Awards Scheme and 50 years of Change in Ireland

A fantastic new high-quality book, All-Star Gazing has been published to mark 50 years of the GAA All-Star Awards. Part sports almanac, part social history, this treasure trove of stories and statistics chronicles Ireland’s longest running sports awards which has become the benchmark of excellence for Gaelic players.

The book was a real labour of love by its two authors, Moira and Eileen Dunne (RTÉ News), daughters of Mick Dunne, who along with fellow journalists Paddy Downey, John D Hickey, and Pádraig Puirséal got the All-Stars scheme up and running in 1971.  Find out more and buy here: https://allstargazing.ie/
