The Academic's Craig Fitzgerald: 'Travelling can take its toll when you’re a homebird like me'

Craig Fitzgerald from The Academic

I was born in the Coombe Hospital and grew up in Inchicore with my mam and dad and older sister for about 10 years. Then when my little sister came along we moved to a small village just outside Mullingar in Westmeath called Killucan.

My mam still lives there in the house I grew up in and my dad lives near my childhood home in Inchicore so I’ve been lucky to keep a great connection with both areas — but I’ll always shout for Westmeath in the football.
