NI 91Èȱ¬less World Cup hero: Football changed my life

It's not the traditional route into football, but one Belfast teenager is carving out a career in the game after starring in the recent 91Èȱ¬less World Cup in Chile.

Padraig McKissock who hasn't slept in a bed in a year, has teams in the Irish Premiership bidding for his services after scoring 33 goals in the 4-a-side tournament.
