Description
Mayo supporters everywhere have their own stories of the long journey to Sam Maguire. Keeping the Faith is John Gunnigan’s. It is a deeply personal account of nearly 60 years following the green and red, and of the website that became a unique part of that journey.
In 2007, John started the Mayo GAA Blog which grew into an essential resource for Mayo supporters worldwide, creating a community united by the same hope: that Mayo would one day win the All-Ireland.
Keeping the Faith takes readers through John’s own highs and lows as a Mayo supporter, from the great teams and agonising defeats to the changing face of following Mayo in the modern era. Alongside it is the story of the blog itself – why he started it, why he nearly walked away more than once, and what kept him going.
Then, after 75 years of waiting, Mayo finally reached the promised land.
For everyone who has ever believed, doubted, suffered and hoped, Keeping the Faith is a story of the Mayo journey and one fan’s perspective on finally seeing the dream come true.
Please note, this is a pre order. Books will be sent out early October.
