Liverpool captain Niamh Fahey: I look forward to never running a marathon

This Much I Know: 'With all the winning teams I've been a part of, I think the thing Dad is most proud of is me getting a good education and going to college'

I am the youngest of eight kids. I have six older brothers, a sister, and loads of nieces and nephews... I lost count somewhere after the 13th.

I grew up in Killannin in Galway — a real GAA parish. It was a very sporty household. I played basketball, soccer, and Gaelic. My sister played basketball, and two of my brothers played Gaelic for Galway. My parents were very encouraging, but not overly so — they let us do our own thing.
