Oisin McConville: 'I had no self-awareness, no maturity, no emotions, no feeling'

Former Armagh football star Oisin McConville detailed the impact his gambling addiction had on his playing days for an audience of students last week in Cork, saying he “was there but wasn’t really there” when Armagh won their historic All-Ireland title in 2002.

McConville overcame a missed penalty to hit 1-2 in that All-Ireland victory over Kerry but he explained that his emotional immaturity at the time cut across his memories of the day.
