Getting out of your comfort zone can reward you in a way, cause that was two games after leaving the small town of Castle Allen and expanding, and the boys that you played with from five or six and right through.
Imagine being a young football enthusiast, kicking a ball around your local field, and dreaming of one day wearing the iconic red jersey of Manchester United.

In this episode of the 'Off Your Head' podcast, Ruairi takes us on a heartfelt journey from his humble beginnings in Annsborough, Northern Ireland, to the grand stage of professional football.

His dad played a crucial role, offering unwavering support and guidance that would shape his future.

Leaving home at 14 to join Manchester United, he faced immense pressure and the harsh realities of competitive sports.
