BERNARD Brogan’s life story is one of the most keenly-anticipated Irish sport autobiographies in years.
For much of the past decade Bernard Brogan was the headline act of Gaelic football for his remarkable forward play, scoring feats and role in helping transform Dublin from contenders into the most dominant team the sport has ever known. Yet despite reaching the pinnacle of the sport, Brogan has encountered his fair share of setbacks. He suffered two cruciate ligament injuries and only broke onto the Dublin senior team when he was 23.. In his forthcoming book, he details the effort and frustrations that came with trying to get back to try to play for Dublin again, the historic Drive for Five, and how he and Dublin became such a force in the first place, giving a unique insight into the workings of a high-performance athlete all the while trying to hold down and grow a couple of businesses.
