Ger McCarthy is a lifelong soccer obsessive and regular contributor on local and international soccer to the
Evening Echo, Southern Star and West Cork People newspapers in the Republic of Ireland as well as the award winning Cork City
FC match day programme 'City Edition'.
Based on the urgings of fellow players, referees, supporters,
doctors and complete strangers, he finally announced his retirement from active playing duties following an amateur soccer
career that spanned well over a decade.
He realised a life-long ambition in 2009 with the publication of his
first book entitled 'Off Centre Circle' about a lifetime spent toiling in the amateur soccer leagues of Ireland. His
book offers an insight into the life of a junior soccer player with recollections and memories through the eyes of the author
who has trained, played, obsessed, written about and cried over his beloved sport. The author recounts his life-long fascination
with the game from childhood through teenage years culminating in the story of his local club's rise to glory in the West
Cork Soccer League.
