🚨 New Podcast Episode 🚨 This is a must watch

At 16, @mark_obrien92 made his pro debut for Derby County.

Months later, he was told he needed urgent heart surgery to save his life — and that he’d never play football again.

What happened next is nothing short of inspirational.
You don’t need to be a @NewportCounty fan, or even a football fan, to be moved by his story. ❤️
