“In this extraordinary life story Moss Keane tells the honest account of how the awkward boy who couldn’t get onto his school team became the rugby icon who played his 50th Cap for Ireland in Twickenham. Making his debut in Currow’s under-14 GAA football team, he graduated to playing for Kerry’s under-21s and for University College Cork, where Sigerson Cup victories followed. But when a challenge from the rival rugby club was issued Moss had found his calling. From Ireland’s 1974 International Championship win, the unforgettable Munster defeat of the All Blacks in 1978, Lansdowne FC victories, the Lions Tour and Ireland’s Triple Crown triumph in ‘82, to a near-death experience at the hands of a vicious mugger, volunteering in Calcutta with GOAL and trying to master golf, Rucks, Mauls and Gaelic Football reveals that for a giant of a man there’s more to Moss Keane than meets the eye!”
