As a former footballer with Millwall and Crystal Palace, Townsend experienced firsthand the challenges and obstacles faced by minority players in the sport.

This isn’t just a football story however. Troy Townsend's story is one of resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to elevating others. To understand the full extent of his story, you must tune in. Troy’s personal story adds depth and poignancy to his advocacy work. Troy's experiences have shaped his perspective. He is truly magical!
Throughout his tenure at Kick It Out, where he has served since 2001, Townsend has been instrumental in driving initiatives aimed at combating racism and discrimination at all levels of the game. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by his recognition as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for his outstanding contributions to diversity and inclusion in association football.
Join me, Ella McCrystal and Troy Townsend on The New Mind Podcast as we explore his multifaceted journey, his role as a pundit on The Guardian's Football Weekly podcast, and his ongoing commitment to driving positive change in the world of football.
