I've had the privilege of having conversations with prominent figures and thought leaders in the world of football. Drawing from my personal experience as a former player, I understand the significance of footballers shaping their identities beyond the boundaries of the pitch. My motivation is to shed light on the many layers of these individuals, highlighting that they are far more than just athletes.

PFA Awards: 50th Anniversary

In 2023, we celebrated 50 years of the PFA Awards, an annual award voted by the players which recognises the outstanding performances in every division of English Football. In the months leading up to the big event, I led the PFA’s effort to connect with past winners, look back on 50 years of football greatness, and promote this year’s momentous event. Below are are the outputs of months of effort interviewing, producing and editing conversations with previous winners in the men’s and women’s sport.

PFA Conversations

As the creator and voice behind the PFA’s ‘PFA Conversations’ series, I talk to current and former players who have embarked on unique career paths, exploring their journeys as footballers, coaches, executives, entrepreneurs, and more.
