Mikey Connor: Football Referee & I Kissed A Boy Star on Authenticity, Advocacy & LGBTQ+ Visibility in Sport
From the pitch to prime-time TV, Mikey Connor is breaking barriers in football and beyond. ⚽🌈📺
This week on The Jack Murley Sports Show, we’re joined by the referee, inclusivity advocate, and star of the BBC’s groundbreaking reality series I Kissed A Boy.
Mikey’s story is one of visibility, passion, and determination:
✨ Officiating matches across the north of the UK while climbing the refereeing pyramid
✨ Opening up about being a gay man who loves football on national TV
✨ Inspiring thousands to live authentically and embrace who they are – including the challenges that come with that.
✨ Using his platform to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community in sport
Candid, inspiring, and full of heart, Mikey shares what it takes to thrive as a referee, why representation matters, and how authenticity can change lives on and off the pitch.
