Nine years after I sat my Leaving Certificate, the Irish state exams, I decided to do the unthinkable and sit the exam all over again in front of the entire nation.

The ‘lack’ of out footballers long troubled me growing up, in my documentary Playing Straight I explore why soccer players from the grassroots to the highest leagues don’t come out, and confront the archaic attitudes that make the ‘people’s game’, a straight one. Broadcasted on RTÉ with guest voices from The Premier League and the world of sport.
