Peter Canavan | Tyrone GAA | 2003
2003: A Football Odyssey — Hardcover · Full Colour · First Edition
Written by the captain who lifted Sam Maguire, this lavishly illustrated hardback chronicles Tyrone's landmark first All Ireland Senior Football Championship in their own words and photographs — a vivid document of one of Gaelic football's most celebrated seasons.
When Tyrone lifted the Sam Maguire Cup in September 2003, they did so for the very first time in their county's history. Every Step We Took captures that journey in full colour, written by captain and Gaelic football icon Peter Canavan. Published the same year as the triumph, the book spans the Ulster campaign, the All Ireland series, and the celebrated All Stars trip, combining match photography with personal reflection.
Presented in a generous square landscape format — approximately 28 cm x 28 cm — and bound in sturdy hardcover boards, this is a coffee-table title produced for the Tyrone supporter who lived through every match, and equally desirable for any collector of Irish sporting history. Sponsored by Bank of Ireland and W.J. Dolan Construction, it carries the hallmarks of a period publication produced close to the community it celebrates, and is not a title that found its way into mainstream retail distribution.
