Former Irish squash champ Rooney still haunted by being forced to quit
Talking Sport with Stephen Glennon
There was a time when former professional squash player John Rooney looked destined to rule the courts for even longer than he did. However, over a decade ago, he was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and, just like that, the future he had envisaged was stolen from him.
Even now, Rooney, who returned with his family from the United States to Galway just a fortnight ago to take up the Racquets Manager position at Galway Lawn Tennis Club, finds it all hard to accept. Despite having achieved so much in his career, he struggles to look beyond that time when his professional career came to an unceremonious end.
