Niall Quinn
One of Ireland’s most successful and best loved footballers, Niall Quinn, tells Gay how a mixture of faith, family and luck enabled him to “swim in the river without getting wet,” in a sport that was rife with drink, gambling and how he survived the kind of post-career depression that killed his friend Gary Speed.
