Until Victory Always
The autobiography of Donegal’s legendary manager Jim McGuinness, with Keith Duggan, 'Until Victory Always' covers McGuinness' life and the transformative period when he led the Donegal senior football team to Ulster and All-Ireland success.
Before McGuinness took over as manager of the Donegal senior football team in the summer of 2010, they were in the GAA wilderness.
When he stepped down just over four years later, the same group of players had won three Ulster championships, the All-Ireland title of 2012, and succeeded in overturning a century-old perception of how Gaelic football should be played.
His departure, almost a decade before his famous return two years ago, marked the end of a personal odyssey that had begun almost three decades earlier and weathered the aftermath of two family tragedies.
A sports classic, the book is both an unforgettable account of McGuinness's years at the helm of the Donegal team and a moving testament to the power of sport to sustain us in our darkest moments.
