Once a promising young player at Birmingham City, Jack reflects on the Second City Derby red card that changed the narrative, the injuries that followed, and how his career unravelled after a move to Scotland.
In this episode, Jack speaks openly about:
• The red card at Blues and the pressure surrounding it
• Long-term injuries and being released from professional football
• The 8‑hour drive home from Scotland with his career over
• Mental health struggles, addiction, gambling, and isolation
• Hitting rock bottom — and rebuilding his life from scratch
This is not a football highlight reel.
It’s the story of what happens after the headlines stop.
