The Mind-Gains Podcast | Everton + England Amputee Footballer, Liam Burbridge

Jamie Clarke Episode 17

Today I had the absolute PLEASURE of sitting with Everton + England amputee footballer, Liam Burbridge!


We took a HUGE deep dive into his personal life, losing his leg, and his overnight rise to playing for England due to a TikTok video.


Not only that, but we spoke on a topic that is VERY hard to believe, the fact that Amputee Football in the UK isn’t funded.


Yet in other countries such as Poland and Turkey, they play professionally.


So, why not our lads? As Liam says, why are our lads shaking buckets in Tesco to raise money in order to play at the euros?


Mindblowing. And not in a good way either!


I’ve been in contact with both the FA and Premier League press offices in regards to this matter.


The FA haven’t responded at all, and I’m still awaiting a response from the Premier League, however, it’s been well over 48 hours now.


If you’re looking for something inspiring and hard hitting, this is the episode for you. Hope you enjoy it!


Thank you for your time and insights Liam, I appreciate it massively, and enjoyed every minute of it.


Good luck at the Euros! Bring it home.
