Freestaters, by Donal Cullen
With talk of an All-Ireland League in the offing again in 2008, Donal Cullen’s Freestaters – which includes a detailed history of the split between Belfast and Dublin football associations almost a century ago – is a welcome addition to the canon of work on the history of the game on these shores.
