'An engaging autobiography . . . the Dunboyne native is a remarkable man in several ways and his career as a football manager is not the sole point of interest. As well as instructive glimpses of players with which he worked, there are compelling sections on his personal life and his work as a herbalist .. .The subject's charisma shines' -- Kilkenny Voice
'Boylan has led an interesting and extraordinary life. Here we are exposed to his profound understanding of the human spirit and his opinion of what really makes people tick' -- The Clare People
