THE FIRST AUTOBIOGRAPHY from one of Donegal’s All-Ireland winning XV of 1992 – a man who was also part of the 2012 set-up – will hit the shelves next month.
‘Confessions of a Gaelic Footballer’, a book written by former Donegal senior footballer Donal Reid will be published in October, 2016.
The book, something of a labour of love by Reid, will be the first publication by any starting member of the historic first ever Donegal winning All-Ireland senior panel. It is also to mark the approach of the 25th anniversary of the breakthrough.
Reid, who writes a weekly column in the Donegal Democrat, says it has been a lifelong ambition to put into print the highs and lows of a life immersed in Gaelic football.
The book chronicles life in the Reid household as a young boy, school, college, work, marriage and especially football.

The book is dedicated to his wife Maura and daughters Donna and Roisin and all proceeds from the sale of the publication will go towards Pieta House.
[adrotate group=”81″]The launch of ‘Confessions of a Gaelic Footballer’ will take place in the Abbey Hotel, Donegal Town on Saturday, 22nd October at 8pm. Put the date in your diary. All welcome.
