Beschreibungen
In August 2014, Jim Gavin's Dubs seemed unstoppable. They were playing football at a level not seen in years – overwhelming opposition and seemingly growing stronger with every game.
Nobody saw it coming: Donegal's beautifully timed semi-final ambush. The Ulstermen laid bare a chink in the Sky Blues' armour; a tactical hole which Gavin immediately set about filling.
Dublin would not lose a championship game again for 2,540 days …
Eric Haughan deep-dives into Dublin's seven years in footballing nirvana, an era of dominance and drama in which Gaelic football changed forever.
Reviewing crucial matches and speaking to players and backroom staff, he pieces together the story of arguably the greatest side the game has ever seen … and the teams who tried to catch them.

ERIC HAUGHAN is a multimedia sports journalist with RTÉ Online. He has been involved with his local St Finian's Newcastle club since childhood, and he now coaches their ladies' team. Eric's idea of a day well spent is hitting the road with his daughter to catch the Dubs in pre-season mode at an obscure provincial ground. This is his first book.
