    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as I'm trying to buy a copy of "The Martin Sheridan Story" but can't seem to come across it anywhere....

    For those who don't know the background, Martin was a five-time Olympic champion, with a total of nine Olympic medals, Sheridan was called "one of the greatest figures that ever represented this country in international sport, born in Mayo in 1881 before moving to the US in 1897.

    Any help would be appreicated!

    Thanks :)

    Indeed Sheridan was a great champion. You'll find his statue in his home town of Bohola, Mayo.

    Larry Ryder of Crusaders lent me the book. I'm sure he'd do the same for you or he'd have an idea where to obtain a copy.

    I'll PM you his email address but you may catch him at Irishtown Stadium on training nights.

    not too many athletes these days have poems written about them either!
