McConville hails Davy’s honesty

Former Armagh footballer Oisin McConville has praised Davy Fitzgerald for his dramatic revelations this week.

McConville, an addiction counsellor who successfully battled gambling, said: “My immediate reaction was that this is refreshing and fair play. We have a problem in society and sport is going to mirror that problem.

“It’s great that somebody is open enough to say it and somebody has an actual working example of it. It’s not something that the guy has plucked out of the sky.
