She's not the biggest football fan but she's my biggest fan and my best friend. "She was the first person I seen after the final whistle. I was doing it in the room between two beds and someone walked in on me, and the sweat was dripping off me. I was so consumed by what other people thought about me and about my image. Even going for a walk, it's so good for the mind. I was able to focus on myself for the first time ever. I was ruining my life every time.

As the Westmeath and Cavan teams awaited the throw-in of Saturday's Tailteann Cup final at Croke Park, Luke Loughlin's thoughts turned back a year, ...

Ultimately, the person I was becoming was killing me. I was able to deal with the problems that I had from when I was a child. I was killing everything about myself: My reputation, my family life. I was so insecure about the way I looked. It's something to show for the hard work that's been going on for the last time. When I was drinking and doing drugs, I was becoming someone else. I can see now the problems I had. I was so consumed by what other people thought about my image. I was able to deal with my addiction. It was never really about the performance. I had to come to terms with an addiction to alcohol and drugs," Loughlin, who scored two points from play in the Westmeath victory, told RTÉ Radio One's Morning Ireland. It was about seeing the smile on someone's face.
