A long and distinguished career in sports medicine, physiotherapy and rehabilitation is on the CV of today’s guest Roger Cleary, not only in elite sport, but within the RAF and NHS too. More specifically in the motorsport world, Roger is probably most known to avid F1 fans as Mark Webber’s former physio at Red Bull, but prior to this he worked closely with world rally legends, Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz Sr. Growing up as first generation-born to Jamaican parents in what was a turbulent era for black Britons, Roger tells of having to endure racist abuse early on in his career - particularly in professional football, both as player and physio. Not only this, he witnessed the infamous glass ceiling effect around him too, but Roger refused to accept this as his fate and pushed through to forge his own path to achieving what he never thought possible as a young boy leaving home.
