It’s the story of All-Ireland-winning hurling goalkeeper Ned Power written from the very personal perspective of his son.<\/p>\n

It is a humorous and often emotionally charged account of the life of an ordinary man who shared his gifts with as many people as possible \u2013 not least of which was the gift of living his life to the full.<\/p>\n

Ned Power\u2019s passion for life and for hurling left a legacy that has lasted generations and it will continue to last for generations to come, not only in his home of Tallow but in Ireland as a whole.<\/p>\n

He was a teacher, a father, a brother, a son, a husband, a golfer, a comedian and last but not least, a hurling revolutionary.<\/p>\n
