Kilkenny manager Brian Cody will be signing copies of his top selling autobiography ‘Cody’ in the the Cultúrlann, Irish Cultural Centre, Falls Road, Belfast and the Millennium Centre in Loughgiel on Saturday 24th October.
The Kilkenny supremo, who has had phenomenal success with the reigning All Ireland champions - claiming seven All-Ireland titles in eleven years and completing a record equaling four-in-a-row of titles - is considered by many hurling aficionados to be the greatest hurling manager of all time, has written the book in conjunction with top GAA reporter Martin Breheny of the Irish Independent.
Brian has been on a whistle-stop tour of book signings throughout the country, and last weekend appeared on the Late Late Show on RTE.
“Brian has always been highly supportive of hurling in Ulster, and in Antrim in particular, and was very keen to have a book signing up in the Glens” said his agent, the former Meath football star Liam Hayes.
Cody points out: “I know that the difference between winning and losing can be minute, and I hope that in my book people can see what exactly has made the difference for the Kilkenny hurling team.”
“This is a book about pride. It is about self-belief and it is about ambition. More than anything else, however, it also about humility and the absolutely vital importance of understanding that every single day of your life, whether you are a sportsperson or not, is a day to be discovered and challenged.
Proceedings at the Cultúrlann get underway at 3pm while the North Antrim fans can catch the Loughgiel event at 8pm.
