Full description for The Kings of September
On the 19st September 1982 Mick O'Dwyer's Kerry ran out in Croke Park chasing immortality. Victory over Offaly in the All-Ireland football final would secure them five titles in a row, a record certain never to be matched again. And it had taken Offaly six heartbreaking years under manager Eugene McGee to drag themselves up from their lowest ebb, but now they stood on the cusp of a glorious reward. The result was a classic final that changed lives and dramatically altered the course of football history. The Kings of September is an epic story of triumph and loss, joy and tragedy, a story of two teams that illuminated a grim period in Irish life and enthralled a nation.
