The LGBT Sport Podcast - The One with Zack Leader

We’re kicking off 2023 on the podcast with a trip back to the grassroots, and a cracking conversation with someone doing their bit to try and make the beautiful game open for everyone.

Zack Leader is Lincolnshire FA’s new LGBTQ+ ambassador – and a man who lives and breathes the beautiful game.

He’s also someone who knows a fair bit about adrenaline rushes, having previously been a British gravity bike champion – and as a Spurs fan, we were always going to like him.

We talk about the role football played for him growing up; getting back into playing after a long time away; his most memorable moments; his experiences as an LGBTQ+ person in sport, including some of the homophobia he’s encountered; his new role with the Lincolnshire FA and lots, lots more.

It’s a great way to kick start our fifth year of the podcast, and we think you’ll love it.
