Simon Thomas is the presenter of Sky Sports’ legendary and flagship football results show, Soccer Saturday. A highly respected broadcaster with 25 years’ experience, he began his career on Blue Peter when he became the 27th presenter on the iconic BBC children’s show. Simon then moved into sports broadcasting and joined Sky Sports as one of the faces of Sky Sports News. He has written his first book, 'Love Interrupted' and has also become a popular speaker on mental health, grief, and sobriety.
In this episode Simon chats all about the ins and outs of Soccer Saturday and the journey he has had on the show over the past few seasons. He opens up about dealing with grief and loss, and his outlook on life's 'what if' moments when it comes to faith and spirituality. His three Sliding Doors Moments include: how he nearly became a policeman but failed his medical, trying one last time to become a Blue Peter presenter when a freak opportunity arose AND being moved from the no pile to the yes pile to make his career dreams come true, and the moment his mum saved his life when he was seconds away from being killed by lightning.
