'Waiting For Houlihan' delicately chronicles the career of a man with a beautifully distinctive style of writing.

Released in 2004, it was produced by Maurice Healy and Jimmy Deenihan and written by Con himself.

If you've never read Con Houlihan, 'More Than a Game: Selected Sporting Essays' is a perfect place to start.
