Rob Amey from Longfleet FC joins Karl in the studio

Karl welcomed a brilliant guest into the studio on Breakfast this morning — Rob Amey from Longfleet FC, a passionate advocate for making football accessible to everyone.

Rob is Director of Inclusion at Longfleet FC, where he supports the coaches delivering the club’s disability football programme. He shared what inclusive sport can mean for individuals and families — not just in terms of fitness, but confidence, friendships, routine, and feeling part of something local.

Rob also spoke about his wider work across the county as the Dorset FA Disability Football Ambassador. A key part of that role is helping other clubs and teams who want to start (or improve) disability football provision — offering guidance, encouragement, and practical support to get sessions up and running.

For us at Hot Radio, conversations like this matter. Community sport is one of the strongest ways to bring people together — and it’s even more powerful when it’s built around inclusion, opportunity, and a warm welcome.

Want to get involved?
