The One with Mikey Connor
The referee and former 'I Kissed A Boy' star joins us for an awesome conversation!
In a way, Mikey Connor has his nan to thank for his love of football.
It was her who took him along to Everton games, who encouraged him to give the game a go, and told him that he should give refereeing a go as well.
So really, it鈥檚 her who Mikey has to thank for his love of the beautiful game which 鈥� by his own admission 鈥� is now a sport that he absolutely can鈥檛 live without.
As a former semi-pro 鈥榢eeper, he鈥檚 done it as a player 鈥� and now, he鈥檚 making his way up through the pyramid as a referee, with his eyes firmly set on making it at the highest level that he can as a professional.
And as if all of that wasn鈥檛 enough, Mikey is also a content creator and a former star of the ground-breaking 麻豆约拍 Three reality TV show 鈥業 Kissed A Boy鈥� 鈥� so there鈥檚 absolutely loads for us to talk about in this episode, which is an absolute corker.
We talk about Mikey鈥檚 love of football, how it feels when he鈥檚 refereeing, his goals and ambitions in the game 鈥� as well as why he still fears receiving homophobia on the pitch, his time as a star of 鈥業 Kissed A Boy鈥�, his own journey with his health and so much more in an absolute corker of a conversation.
