Vincent Hogan

Vincent Hogan is an Irish sports journalist who writes for the Irish Independent.[1] As ghost writer of autobiographies, he has written with sports personalities such as international soccer Paul McGrath's (Back From the Brink - British Sports Autobiography of the Year; William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year[2]), Eddie O'Sullivan and inter-county GAA players Nicky English and Henry Shefflin and Colm 'Gooch' Cooper.[1][3][4][5][6] He is co-driver to amateur Irish rally driver and RTÉ Sport presenter Michael Lyster.[7]

Some of his colour pieces have caused controversy. In the aftermath of their exclusion of team-mate, Kevin Cassidy, from a team-holiday, he described the Donegal senior football team under Jim McGuinness as "sheep".[8][9]
