Callum Wilson: Opening Up About His Haunted Past and the Battles You Didn’t See (E353)

Callum Wilson: Opening Up About His Haunted Past and the Battles You Didn’t See (E353)

Callum Wilson is a Premier League striker known for his sharp finishing and explosive pace on the pitch; but off it, he has an equally powerful story.


Warning: this episode contains themes of suicide and trauma.


In this episode, Callum opens up about the darker side of his upbringing, including dealing with suicidal thoughts as a teen and the emotional scars that came with growing up in chaos. He reflects on how football gave him a sense of direction and purpose when everything else felt unstable.


He also shares the impact of Eddie Howe, who became a father figure, and how therapy helped him face long-buried trauma. From two ACL injuries to mentoring younger players, Callum reflects on resilience, growth, and staying grounded.


This episode dives into mental health, fatherhood, football, and the power of second chances.
