The Big Interview: Anthony Daly will always be a winner

One of the most engaging conversations you’ll have in life is a sit down with Anthony Daly.

He’s personable, engaging, open, good-humoured, witty, then parts sombre, serious, always sincere. And the ultimate storyteller, whether you are sitting on a riverbank with him or supping tea in front of a fire in his mother’s house in Clarecastle. Pull up a chair and enjoy.

Anthony Daly has just written one of the great Irish sports autobiographies. Well, with a bit of help from an old opponent and colleague in Christy O’Connor. Those familiar with O’Connor’s work like The Club will see his touch in effect, but part of his craft has been to ensure that all the time it’s Daly’s voice you hear. It’s like he’s talking directly to you.
