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.

Praise for The Rocky Road

An absolute cracker ... provocative, endlessly entertaining, occasionally over the top but brimming with passion and heart. A memoir worthy of the life and times it describes

Irish Times

Outstanding ... To paraphrase the great man himself, it's not a good book, it's a great book

Irish Independent

Absorbing and heartfelt

Sunday Business Post

Excellent ... a exceptionally engaging read

Irish Mail on Sunday

A cut above the typical 4-4-2 sporting autobiography ... full of delicious anecdotes

Sunday Times

It's a testament to his succinctly brutalist skill as a writer that The Rocky Road remains fascinating even in its most wrong-headed moments

Sunday Business Post

Warm, passionate, angry and funny

Irish Daily Mail

Doesn't pull any punches

Hot Press

A compelling memoir

Irish Examiner
