The Jack Murley Sports Show Daniel Jervis: the two-time Olympian on retirement, inspiring others by coming out, authenticity and moreWe’re proud to call Daniel Jervis a friend on this podcast. The double-Olympian and multiple-time Commonwealth medallist came into the life of this show back in 2022 when the swimmer chose to open up about his sexual orientation for the first time on our podcast. In the time since then, there’ve been some downs and a load of ups for Dan – including the mammoth achievement of a second Olympics for the Welshman in Paris – and so it only seems right that Dan joins us to talk about his announcement today that he’s retired as a profe...

The Jack Murley Sports Show Jason Joshua: on overcoming anxiety, being gay in British wrestling, finding your persona and moreIf you didn’t know Jason Joshua before this weekend, there’s a chance you do now after he went viral for – well, there’s no other way to say it, for being bodyslammed onto a sex aid. But even before that, ‘Big Daddy Unicorn’ was capturing the eyes of the British and international wrestling community with his unique mix of power and personality, along with a personal journey that is every bit as compelling as his in-ring persona. Anxiety and mental health issues have played a huge part in this larger-than-life grappler’s life, as has his own...

The Jack Murley Sports Show Cindy Ngamba: making history at the Paris Olympics, trailblazing for refugee athletes, coming out and moreIt’s always special to have an Olympian on the podcast. When that Olympian is also a medallist, that makes things even better – and when they made history in the process… well, it doesn’t get any better than that. But that’s exactly what Cindy Ngamba did at the Paris Olympics, when she became the first person from the Refugee Olympic team to ever win an Olympic medal, as she picked up bronze in the boxing in the middleweight division. Cindy is also a multiple time British Amateur Champion, and has competed for the Eu...

The Jack Murley Sports Show James Adcock: refereeing in the Football League, coming out, retirement and bringing inclusion to the beautiful gameIt was back in 2021 that professional football referee James Adcock shared his story with us on the show, and opened up to the world for the first time about the fact that he just so happens to be gay. It was something that made headlines right around the world, with James becoming one of the highest-profile male officials to open up about their sexuality A lot has changed for James in the time between then and now – he’s left officiating behind, got even more into his fitness, and there’s the small matter of an eng...

The Jack Murley Sports Show Josh Eyre: opening up for the first time about being a gay football referee, inclusion in the game, officiating and moreWe’re biased about today’s guest – and not just because he is also a proud Cornishman! Josh Eyre is one of the top officials in the Cornish game, and has been recognised as such by his county organisation. He’s also working his way up the footballing pyramid, a rising star in refereeing who is already officiating in matches at a National League North and South Level – and with getting into the Football League pyramid itself just one step away, that’s something that is firmly in his sights. Josh reached out to us at the...

Huw Ware took charge of his first televised match when he was just 17, making him the youngest official to ever do so. Since then, his career has gone from strength to strength, with multiple appearances at some of the sport’s top events – and just a few days ago, Huw made history as the first out gay man to referee the sport’s showpiece final as he took charge o...

They didn’t do it the easy way either, losing two centre-backs to injury and coming from behind to secure El Decimo – but champions find a way to win, and that’s exactly what Stonewall FC managed to do. Manager Eric Najib, and players Fernando Martins and Shane McCullough, played a key role in Stonewall's...

As a New Zealand rugby star who’d been capped by the national team, Campbell’s decision to speak publicly about the fact he’s gay made him the first out All Black – and when we spoke with him at the time of his decision, life was a bit of a whirlwind for him.

There’s been a major elbow injury, surgery, a road to recovery and – as you’ll hear – an engagement and wedding to plan as well. But what pushes Sophie on is her desire to continue competing, and her recognition that something within her is driving her to accomplish goals that she’s not yet reached...

In fact, Jack’s already a history-making athlete, as the first Irish athlete to ever compete in an Olympic taekwondo event – and this time out, he was cheered on by his partner Dave, unlike in Tokyo, where there were just a handful of people on hand to watch his monumental achievement.

On the other hand, Rocky also experienced her first piece of homophobic abuse in a long time – and the experience left her shaken and hurt.
