NI Homeless 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 Homeless 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.
That included 5 goals in the final against Denmark, which helped Northern Ireland lift the World Cup trophy.
Padraig spoke to 5 live's Up All Night and explained that his success is thanks to his involvement in the Northern Ireland Street League.
