Breaking Barriers in Football | Connor Sanderson’s Inspiring Journey | Beyond The South Stand

Beyond the Barclay

About

In this powerful International Special of Beyond The South Stand (part of Beyond The Barclay), we sit down with passionate Arsenal F.C. supporter Connor Sanderson.


Connor is a little person who has refused to let his condition define him. Instead, he’s turned his love of football into a coaching journey across the women’s game and youth development — proving that the game truly is for everyone.


In this episode we discuss:


• Growing up as a football fan

• Overcoming barriers and stereotypes

• Coaching in women’s football

• Developing young players

• Representation and resilience in the game


This is an honest, inspiring and important conversation about opportunity, belief and breaking boundaries in modern football.


If you believe football should be for everyone — this one’s for you.
