The Irish Experiment

Whether it’s committing to a tackle, being a dad, or writing a memoir, if Zach Tuohy goes in, he goes “”all in””. Zach Tuohy’s journey began with a love for Gaelic football and took a dramatic turn when he signed a professional contract with an Australian football club at seventeen. Despite initial challenges with the Carlton Football Club and becoming a father at twenty-three, Zach’s story evolved into one of remarkable success. His move to the Geelong Cats saw him become a star rebounding defender, culminating in a Premiership medal in 2022 and a record for the most AFL games played by an Irish player in 2023. In his memoir, Zach candidly recounts his experiences in Australia, sharing the highs, lows, and the downright hilarious moments. He offers insights into the relationship between Gaelic football and AFL, and discusses the future of Irish and Australian footballers. —- ISBN: 9781923022096 | ISBN10: 1923022091 | ISBN-13: 978-1923022096
