Review:
"Provides an insight into how the greatest midfielder of his generation prepares for games. O Se comes across as knowledgeable about football and footballers and makes revealing observations about both" Irish Times "Paints a fascinating picture of how Maurice Fitzgerald operated and gives us a good idea of what made O Se himself so mentally tough" Sunday Tribune
