Football legend, and one of Ireland's top international goal scorers, second only to Robbie Keane, Olivia O'Toole joined us this week. She told us about growing up in Sheriff Street during a heroin epidemic that impacted her family directly and how her love of football helped to keep her on the right path. She also spoke about the changing attitudes towards women's football since her days being sent off the pitch when the other team noticed she was a girl. Olivia told us what the Irish qualification for the Women's World Cup meant for her and shared her hopes that seeing a packed stadium of Irish supporters will inspire a whole new generation of female players and ensure that the sport continues to grow.
