Gary has chosen his favourite-ever sports book, Gold In The Water by PH Mullen. The book follows a group of swimmers at the Santa Clara Swim Club as they work to qualify for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

Oh, and there’s an Ireland match tonight. Will Bossman Steo stick to his guns or are we about to see a swerve towards conservatism?
