Liam and Hannah are finally back in the studio, and to kick off the new season, we sat down for a massive 2-hour feature-length special with Walsall midfielder Jamie Jellis.

From laying bricks on a freezing building site to scoring a 91st-minute winner against Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup—Jamie has one of the most incredible comeback stories in the EFL, and we left no stone unturned in this episode.

We go deep into Jamie's journey, starting with his release from Stevenage during the pandemic and the "real world" reality check of working manual labour while grinding in non-league. Jamie opens up about the magical back-to-back promotions at Tamworth under Andy Peaks, and the phone call from Mat Sadler that brought him back to the Football League.

In the second hour, we get into the nitty-gritty of life at the Bescot. Jamie gives his honest, raw perspective on Walsall’s heartbreaking collapse last season—from being clear at Christmas to missing out on the final day and the pain of the Wembley Playoff Final loss. We also discuss dealing with social media abuse, the mental toll of the game, and his advice to young players following his FA betting charge.

Grab a coffee (or a beer), sit back, and enjoy this deep dive into the life of a modern footballer.

In an exclusive episode of The Lower League Look, Liam & Hannah sit down with Jake Tabor, the 22-year-old non-league football phenomenon who has taken the English football pyramid by storm. Dubbed the "next Jamie Vardy," Tabor shares his remarkable journey from non-league football in Watford to becoming the leading goalscorer in English football for two consecutive seasons, netting an astonishing 127 goals in 91 appearances for Amersham Town in the Combined Counties League Premier Division North.

Tabor opens up about his unconventional path, including playing various roles from right-back to striker, and balancing football with work. He discusses his prolific scoring record, including 170+ goals over three seasons, and the viral attention that led to a Football Manager simulation where he becomes a Premier League star. With trials lined up at EFL clubs like Swindon Town, Tabor reflects on his ambitions to prove doubters wrong and make the leap from non-league to professional football.

The interview delves into Tabor’s time with Amersham Town, his decision to leave after manager Stuart Atkins’ resignation, and his strategic approach to pre-season trials. Candid and determined, Tabor shares his mindset of staying grounded while chasing a "life-changing" opportunity in the EFL, drawing parallels to Charlie Austin’s rise. Packed with insights into non-league football’s grit and Tabor’s infectious passion, this episode is a must-listen for fans of underdog stories and the beautiful game’s grassroots.
