Zack Leader: bringing LGBTQ+ inclusion to the beautiful game, elevating Lincoln United, understanding himself and more

To say Zack Leader is committed to diversity and inclusion in the beautiful game would be a gross understatement.

A nominee for the British LGBT Awards in 2019, he’s been a finalist on multiple occasions at the Football v Homophobia Awards – and he’s celebrating nominations again this year as a result of his work.

In fact, it’s fair to say that if you are involved in football in Lincolnshire – either with Lincolnshire FA, Lincoln United or the area’s inclusive football team -  you’re going to know all about Zack’s work in opening the sport up to everyone.

A fellow Spurs fan and an athlete in his own right as a gravity bike rider (in fact, he’s a two-time British junior champion), Zack is a fascinating guy and a brilliant guest on the podcast today.

We chat to Zack about the amazing work he’s been doing in Lincolnshire, about why inclusion is so important to him, about pushing through so many fantastic initiatives to do with the LGBTQ+ community, his own experiences as a gay man in football and loads more besides.

It’s a great conversation, and it’s always fantastic to check in with Zack – and we think you’re going to love this one!
