A four-time All-Ireland winning champion footballer has revealed how she thought a stroke she suffered was just tiredness after training.
Former Dublin star Siobhan McGrath, 35, helped her side to lift the Brendan Martin Cup in 2010, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Siobhan explained how she woke up one morning last June feeling exhausted and confused.
The half-back had been experiencing aches and pains after a club run-out, but the next morning she found it difficult to do normal tasks like putting on a t-shirt, opening a window and sending an e-mail. Siobhan said she knew immediately that something was not right when her house alarm sounded and she struggled to switch it off.
