Great courage,your an inspiration

Sad

Your problem is your not able to handle your liquor. Nothing wrong with having a drink. Your a bousy

wow...hope all ok...keep going

who tf bought his all ireland medals 🤣🤣

Alcoholism is a real disease

Blaming the GAA for his own failures..own it nobody is responsible only yourself.

Go on then, put me in the picture

Blown away by that, thanks Noel. This should be played to every TY class in the country. Thanks for displaying your darkest moments, the honesty about your life and the hurt you caused. Your solace can rest in the fact this video will save many lives, wake people up to their negative relationship with drink and hopefully make home a better place for a lot of children.

Good talk but the music is too loud. It’s difficult to hear everything he says.

So true, when we take a drink the drink takes us 😢 I went to my darkess tines drinking and this interview is raw and very well put 👌 Sobriety is nothing to be ashamed of, growing up in ireland its engrained into us, growing up it was like its the right thing to do, drink is a terrible thing when your addicted to it, can destroy you and your family all at once. Great interview 👍

Brave man, no matter how far down u go Lads u can turn it around, I know that 100%

This guy seems to be blaming Croke park for his own failings. The purpose of the GAA is to facilitate sport and games. They do this brilliantly. The purpose of individuals is to be good people and take some personal responsibility. He needs to look in the mirror rather than pointing the finger for his own behaviour. As we all should.

He is a credit to himself and everyone who has drink problems

Sounds like an asshole!

Very honest interview absoulte legend noel to tell this and it will help others and help me too

Bless you Brother..know how you felt I chose drink over my family and food.. In AA 12 step program with 23byeats thank God..

he should be hired by the gaa to talk to every player and tell his story

it's now GAA and Cocaine

Drinking? With 3 quid in his pocket?!!

Soundstrat

you have to go through to understand - looks great on paper 100% very honest man, you are a legend in your own right god bless you and thank you for sharing your story ✨️

Wow,,raw and honest. Anyhow as alice copper said in his interview on addiction to drink etc sometimes god allows it to drag you into depths and then pulls you out so your now in service of others. So true here,,the good hes doibg now out weighs the damage he did,,👏

This was just offered to me by RUclips out the blue at 4am and I'm glad it was. I don't know who the fella is, being in England, but he speaks from the heart without a doubt. I hope he went into helping others overcome something he's well and truly got the number of.

More balls than brains , its a common irish problem

Outstanding honesty,

We are being replaced so the GAA will soon be a minor organisation and then will go extinct. Foreigners are only interested in anglo sports.

Fair play lad hope your well

Expecting the GAA management to understand or help especially 20 years ago was madness. Those uncle Toms would never understand or have the sensitivity/sympathy to handle such issues. Professional help is required.

Noel that was powerful , I am an advocate for people with extra requirements and like you are saying people can’t empathise and truly understand without the lived experience. The lived experience is invaluable and You have that. Ppl with the lived experience should be included in any such addition awareness programmes that the GAA deliver. I advocate the same regarding disability. I admire you how you shared such a sensitive and personal story 👏👏👏👏👏 Goodman Noel 👍

I am a alcoholic. But afraid to admit

Fair play to him for turning his life around .. it takes an awful lot of introspection and honesty to front up and admit to a weakness and an addiction. For all those commenting negatively here you could do with developing some empathy for others or at the very least some self introspection yourselves. This island is absolutely littered with functioning alcoholics and as a nation we are the facilitators ... Ireland has a very long way to go in terms of it's relationship with alcohol.

Sneekist bastard drug in the world is the drink.

It is so important to share these stories. Well done Noel, and thank you for being so open and honest about a topic still regarded by many as taboo. Wishing you every happiness now and into the future.

Great honesty, bravery but some if the stories ain't nice

The big change these days is the lads are all on Charlie. Give it a few years and we will see the repercussions

Fair play, what a good and honest man. Takes a lot of balls 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It’s terrible what drink does to good people, ruins them and hurts their families immensely

Another who cant handle His bevy😂

Its progressive..The great remover....

Interesting! Yet with alcoholics i have known, i have learnt to take most of what they say, with a pinch of salt! IMO one can believe nothing of what they say! Noels comments about people maybe could’ve helped him? In my experience the only person who can help the alcoholic is them selves. The self report here of lying, thieving, disrespecting, is often played out in grandious and self serving manner by the instigator. They know better than anyone about just about anything….if you ask them. Anyone trying to help them, just gets sucked into the selfish, vortex, that is their life. I say to friends/family, dont try “saving” them, it is a waste of time.

I was with you up to a point. Don't know why you are laughing, while telling the story about, making money from fallen soldiers. Awful thing to laugh at.😢

Hope solo 😂😂😂😂

Very strong this is what real strength and courage looks like

Is there any chance you could help me, I really need help please, I'm drinking right now, I only drink beer, but I need help I'm suffering brother 🙏

In all the comments in most subjects that is 1 of the best I've heard, wish the man all the luck in the world

That sound strike noise would drive ya to drink 😂😂

He’s a natural this N.O. Just one of a kind Greatest asset to the Game of RF imaginable…‼️ 👊🔥 🥂 🪖

A walter mitty for sure this fella.

Well Mort
