Product Description
Product Description
Ronan O'Gara is quite simply one of the greatest sportsmen Ireland has ever produced. A brilliant kicker both from the hand and at penalty goals, a sublime orchestrator of play from the out-half position he has made his own, and a cool head in the pressure-cooker of club and international rugby, the list of the Cork man's achievements goes on and on. He was the leading points scorer in Irish rugby history, and one of the top ten in the world. He was the leading points scorer in the history of the Heineken Cup. He was the first ever points and try scorer at the home of Gaelic sports, Croke Park. In his candid, illuminating autobiography, O'Gara tells the story of those many on-field successes, including the glorious year of 2006, when his tactical prowess and will to win first helped guide Ireland to the Triple Crown in the Six Nations championship, then Munster to a memorable Heineken Cup victory over Biarritz at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.O'Gara kicked a perfect five out of five in the 23-19 win that glorious May day, as Munster lifted the coveted trophy for the first time, sparking wild celebrations heard all the way back in Limerick and Cork. Two years later, he was no less instrumental as Munster won the cup for a second time, beating Toulouse. Yet in any sporting career there are setbacks as well, and O'Gara does not shy away from addressing the darker days, most notably at the 2007 World Cup. He tells the inside story of Ireland's disappointments in France, and responds to the allegations about his personal life that made front-page news that autumn. "Ronan O'Gara: My Autobiography" is the story of an Irish rugby hero, of a life lived to the full, and of a passionate and proud representative of the people of Cork and Ireland.
From the Inside Flap
Ronan O’Gara is one of the greatest sportsmen Ireland has ever produced. The leading points scorer in the history of Irish rugby, with more than 800 points to his name in over 80 caps for his country, O’Gara has developed into an inspirational leader on and off the pitch. A brilliant kicker from the hand and at goal, a sublime orchestrator of play from the out-half position and a cool head in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of top-class rugby, there are few players in the world who can match his abilities and achievements.

In this candid and illuminating autobiography, O’Gara now tells the inside story of his many challenges and triumphs. From his early days in Cork through to his international debut in 2000 and three Triple Crowns in the past five years, RO’G has risen to become a master of the game at No. 10. With Munster, there was the ‘Miracle Match’ against Gloucester in 2003, the stunning success of 2006, when O’Gara’s composure and perfect kicking led his team to lift the Heineken Cup for the first time in an unforgettable final against Biarritz at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and then a sensational second triumph against Toulouse in 2008.
Yet in any career there are setbacks as well, and O’Gara does not shy away from addressing the darker days, most notably at the 2007 World Cup. He tells the inside story of Ireland’s disappointments in France, and responds to the allegations about his personal life that made front-page news that autumn. Ronan O’Gara: My Autobiography is the story of an Irish rugby hero, of a life lived to the full and of a modern-day sporting legend.
