Irish Amputee Footballer, Neil Hoey - From Childhood Cancer to Big Life Goals
Episode 17
Monday, 29 September, 2025
Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.In this episode I’m joined by Neil Hoey, an irish amputee footballer who shares his story of losing his leg to cancer to seeing how life’s challenges can open new doors, experiences and goals. Neil is 25 and was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in childhood.Unfortunately treatment alone wasn’t going to save Neil’s life and the difficult decision to amputate his leg had to me made. Throughout it all his family and friends didn’t allow him to pause his confidence - but instead pushed him at every opportunity to take pride in his independence. Neil is healthy, happy, in a great place in his career and relationships. He is the Senior International and National League Amputee Football player of the Year and nominated for the FAIreland International Awards. Neil is fully deserving of this accolade for his hard work and commitment to the IAFA.This episode is incredibly positive given all Neil has been through and will absolutely give encouragement and hope to anyone going through a similar story.
