from the lodge to the box

written by plunket carter. it is a potted history of cork hib's and cork football from earliest times.

while it has it's faults overall it a good read and well worth a look in by any fan of cork soccer or cork sport. very good value at 8.00 euros.

Ive read it and it is indeed a good book. It gives a great insight into the history of Cork soccer and even gives a mention to "Moses and his followers in the shed". There also a nice picture of the 1998 cup winning team.

It's easy to know that you've not watched City lately... ;)

Would I be right in saying that the Echo published a glossy book on the short history of Cork City F.C. about five years ago.

Do any of the members have it?
What is it like?
