Jason Cundy

Jason Cundy is a former professional footballer turned accomplished sports broadcaster and speaker. Known for his passionate delivery, candid storytelling, and engaging presence, Jason connects with audiences through his unique journey from the Premier League to the airwaves. As a speaker, he draws on a career shaped by highs, lows, resilience, and personal transformation, offering powerful lessons on leadership, teamwork, mental health, and overcoming adversity. His ability to blend humour with sincerity makes him a relatable and memorable figure in the world of public speaking.

Jason began his professional football career with Chelsea FC, where he made his mark as a solid centre-back. His talent quickly earned him a move to Tottenham Hotspur, where he scored one of the most memorable goals of the Premier League’s early years—a wind-assisted 50-yard clearance that unexpectedly found the back of the net against Ipswich Town. He also played for clubs including Crystal Palace, Portsmouth, and Ipswich Town, earning three England U21 caps along the way. Despite showing great promise, his career was unfortunately curtailed by injury and health issues, including a battle with testicular cancer, which he overcame with determination and courage. This life-altering experience gave him a new perspective and would later form a central part of his motivational talks.

In recent years, Jason has become a prominent voice on talkSPORT, co-hosting “The Sports Bar” and contributing as a commentator and pundit. His work with Chelsea TV has also cemented his reputation as a knowledgeable and charismatic broadcaster. Beyond broadcasting, Jason has become an advocate for men’s health and cancer awareness, raising significant funds for charity and speaking openly about his own experiences. His candid and compassionate advocacy has earned him respect far beyond the footballing world, and he regularly appears at corporate events, sports dinners, and health awareness campaigns.

Jason is hired as a speaker not only for his entertaining and inspiring stories but also for his authenticity and emotional intelligence. His journey from the pitch to the studio—and his fight through serious illness—resonates with audiences from all walks of life. Whether addressing resilience in sport or perseverance through personal struggle, Jason delivers with a powerful mix of wit, insight, and hard-earned wisdom.
