This week on The Set Peace Podcast, we sit down with Tristan Gordon.  a man whose journey through football and life is as powerful as it is inspiring.

From early days lighting up the local pitches to being on the verge of a professional career, Tristan’s footballing ability was never in doubt. But life took a series of unexpected turns that forced him to rebuild from the ground up. Through the challenges, lessons and moments that changed his direction, Tristan found a new purpose one rooted in faith, growth and giving back.

Today, he continues to play at grassroots level, but his impact stretches far beyond football. Tristan runs a Foodbank supporting local families, leads a Men’s Forum focused on conversation and well-being, and has become a pillar of his community, using his story to guide young people away from the wrong paths and towards better choices.

In this deeply honest episode, Tristan shares:
•⁠  ⁠How life’s toughest moments shaped the man he is today
•⁠  ⁠The importance of purpose, reflection and second chances
•⁠  ⁠How football and community became his anchor
•⁠  ⁠Why giving back brings more fulfilment than any trophy ever could

A story of redemption, resilience and real change one that shows it’s not where you start or what you go through, but how you use your journey to lift others.

The set peace podcast is about more than football it’s about the people behind it.

Every 2 weeks, we sit down with guests across the game from pros to physios, coaches to players, these are the conversations we all need to hear, in football and in life.

With 45 minutes talking football and 45 minutes on mental health and well-being these conversations are for everyone whether you’re in football or not.
