The launch of Henry Shefflin's autobiography will take place this evening in Kilkenny.

Henry Shefflin - The Autobiography will be launched at The Hub, Cillin Hill, Dublin Road at 7.30pm. Many hurling fans have been eagerly looking forward to getting their hands on a copy of the book since Penguin Ireland announced it was in the works on the day King Henry announced his inter-county retirement in late March.

A press release from the publishers states: "Since the turn of the millennium, when Kilkenny established itself as the dominant force in hurling, one man has stood out from a remarkable group of players: Henry Shefflin.

"Now widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, Shefflin has eleven All-Stars and a record three Hurler of the Year awards and ten All-Ireland medals - but beneath the surface image of calm efficiency and effortless genius, his hurling life has included its share of bitter disappointments, agonising injuries and intense rivalries.

"Now, in what will be an essential read, Shefflin tells his own story."
