Anthony Molloy memoir hits top 5 in sports book charts

Anthony Molloy has scored a hit with his recently published memoir registering a top five position in this week’s Irish sportsbook chart. 

‘Life, Glory and Demons’ - ghostwritten by DonegalLive’s own Frank Craig - chronicles Molloy’s rise to the very top of the GAA mountain following the county’s historic 1992 All-Ireland breakthrough win. 

But it also documents his subsequent slip down the other side where battles with alcohol and depression had to be overcome. 

Following well received launches in both Donegal and Dublin, Molloy hit the book signing trail last week with stops made in Ballyshannon, Donegal Town and Letterkenny. 

The Ardara man says he’s overwhelmed by the response to his memoir and indeed its chart positioning this week. 

“It’s been a brilliant number of weeks since we first launched the book at the Blue Haven,” he said. “From there it was onto Dublin and the Harcourt Hotel. There have been radio, TV and print interviews almost every other day. 

The book retails at E Book €9.99, Paperback €20 and Hardback €25. It is available in bookstores nationwide and online. You can buy it here

“But for Liam Hayes, the book’s publisher, to get in touch this week and say we’ve a ‘best seller’ on our hands is brilliant. Liam has posted the chart online and we’re at number five. 

“The ones above us are the likes of Kellie Harrington, Padraic Maher,Roddy Collins and Martin O’Neill. That’s amazing company. But there is still really good momentum there.

“We were out and about at a number of stores in the last week doing some signings. It’s been great to have so many familiar faces come in and look to get their copy autographed. 

“And it’s been lovely to look back and hear everyone’s own version of ‘92, where they were and what it meant to them.”
