Lucy Briggs is a referee and assistant referee in the Women's Super League and Championship. Lucy grew up in Garstang, Lancashire, and alongside her officiating runs multiple football leagues in her local area, giving hundreds of people opportunities to play that maybe weren't around when she was younger.
Ryan spoke with Lucy for the next episode of Taboo on the Terraces to discuss her career as an official in the WSL and Championship and her best moments and memories to date, but also her work championing mental health support. Lucy herself suffered with depression and mental ill-health as a teenager, but utilised resources around her to get better and seek help, and also used football and refereeing in particular as a motivator in a very tough period of her life.
