'I was an alcoholic at 27 and didn't speak to anyone'

Former Northern Ireland goalkeeper Roy Carroll is hoping to use his experience of battling alcoholism to help current players facing problems.

Carroll has joined the OneTwo football agency which was founded by his former international team-mate Keith Gillespie and Brian Adair.

"It has made me the person I am, I'm a very strong person now and I want to help other people in the game get over their dark days," said the former Manchester United keeper.
