A collage of personal memories passed over into family myth, here is a funny and moving account of a childhood spent on pitches, sidelines and in stands; struggling to make sense of competition and the outsized role it plays in the lives of men and boys, fathers and sons. From tough lessons on the parish pitch and the politics of afterschool soccer, to the euphoria of Croke Park and brushes with sporting demigods, Boy Wonder is one man's story - but a testament to every man's experience.
