In 2022 Clare Shine wrote an autobiography that lifted the lid on the struggles she had faced through mental health and addiction.
Being a professional footballer is not always the sunshine and glamour it can appear and in this episode of our Sport for Social Good series, in partnership with Allianz, we spoke to Clare about how she came through and why talk is so important.
She is an ambassador for the Pieta House Electric Ireland Darkness Into Light campaign which will see 100,000 people walk and talk into the sunrise on Saturday, May 6th.
