Marie Crowe presents another episode of the Republic of Ireland WNT Book Club with the focus on 'Scoring Goals in the Dark' by Clare Shine with Gareth Maher.

The hard-hitting memoir from the former Ireland international was long-listed for the 2022 William Hill Sports Book of the Year and has been hailed for its raw honesty.

As a young footballer, Clare seemed to have it all. By 19, she was a full-time professional and a senior international, but was also addicted to alcohol, had experimented with drugs and attempted suicide.

This is the story of a girl struggling to find her identity, a journey in search of confidence and self-belief and a remarkable recovery.
