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, in The Rocky Road – one of the most hotly anticipated Irish autobiographies of recent times – Dunphy takes us behind the scenes of a passionate life – from childhood poverty in Dublin to the Football League to the forefront of journalism and debate in Ireland.
