The Red Agenda will be back next week but in the meantime we wanted to give you a taste of a new series from The Athletic 'The Moment with Kelly Cates and Geoff Thomas'

Kelly and Geoff are joined by former Liverpool academy player Sean Highdale who as a 17-year-old looked set to follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher into the first team, but in 2008 a car crash changed everything, sending him into a coma and killing two of his friends.

This is the story of his journey back from life threatening injuries including a broken neck, a shattered knee and a kidney removal, to once again playing football as a professional and how in 2016 he unexpectedly found himself representing Paralympics GB at the 2016 games in Rio.

Check out the rest of the series, including interviews with Troy Townsend, Luke Chadwick and more, by searching for ‘The Moment’ in your usual podcast provider
