''The dream was football . . .''John Giles had a gift. At the age of three, he could kick a ball the way it was supposed to be kicked.

He also describes his enduring friendship with the ''kid from across Dublin''s Tolka Park'', Eamon Dunphy, and his career on RTÉ2''s football panel, where Giles'' intelligent and insightful analysis have made him an even more well-loved and respected national figure.
