Beschreibungen
22 September, 2002 is a date engrained in the mind of every Armagh fan. At Croke Park for the first time ever, the Sam Maguire was lifted in front of a sea of orange and white and the celebrations continued for months. Twenty years on, the story of that famous day is revisited and examined and the reasons for their ascent are detailed by those at the heart of the journey. Orchard stars, fans and opponents all contribute to paint a vivid picture of the day that Armagh were Kings for a Day.
Kings for a Day is a book to celebrate that success but also to give readers a new and exciting insight on what exactly happened inside the tight-knit dressing room that took Armagh from also-rans to All-Ireland champions.

Niall McCoy has covered Armagh and Ulster Gaelic games for 15 years and has become an authoritative voice on the Orchard county. Having followed the team the length and breadth of the country as a supporter as they chased their Sam Maguire dream, he went on to develop relationships with many of those heroes chiefly through his work with the Gaelic Life. Niall has also worked with the Irish News, RTÉ and the Banbridge Chronicle.
