Was a privilege to work with @DavidGillick on The Race, which is shortlisted for Irish Sports Book of the Year. Given it's partly decided by the public, any votes are most appreciated: https://t.co/n1dNQQpPat (Sports category is #14 and you don't have to vote in every one.)

Witnessed all of the βbig rodeosβ of David Gillickβs career. He was as good an interviewee as he is an interviewer. Turns out he was telling us then only part of the story. The full one is dark, disturbing & he tells it here without a shred of holding back. For me, unputdownable.
