Episode 2392: The “I’ll Tell You Wrote It” Second Captains Book Club – Paul Kimmage’s ‘Rough Ride’, With Richie Sadlier

Rough Ride by Paul Kimmage is widely acknowledged as the greatest Irish sports book of all time, and Richie Sadlier is widely acknowledged as the greatest sports book reviewer of all time.

So it’s high time we got these two high-achievers together for episode 14 of the I’ll Tell You Who Wrote It Second Captains Book Club.

Richie wonders if Paul has mellowed over the years (recent tweets suggest… no), and there’s also a confected All-Ireland final controversy, for the week that’s in it.
