Dean Clarke dreamed of becoming a professional footballer and he lived that dream for over 10 years in Ireland. However, the realities of his dream life are a far cry from the fame and fortune you would associate with being a professional footballer.
If I offered you a job, your dream job, and told you the salary would make it hard to get by and your contract would only last for 10 months of the year… would you accept my offer? And if you did, how long would you stick at it?
This is the reality of being a professional footballer in Ireland and this is the power of those two words “Professional Footballer”.
This is Dean Clarke.
