UNMARKED Episode #2 | Jordon Ibe

Back for another round of conversations with footballers in their natural element, talking about life on and off the pitch, SoccerBible and the boys from ‘Out of Home’ present the latest episode of our podcast, UNMARKED. And this week’s willing participant is Derby new boy, Jordon Ibe.

Following the inaugural episode with Ryan Babel, the second episode of UNMARKED finds us in the good company (via video link at least) of Jordon Ibe, with the OOH crew talking with the winger about the realities of football and the mental challenges that come with the game at the very top. This open discussion gives us an insight into a player that has seen and experienced so much at such a young age; growing up fast and learning harsh realities, we cross the confines of the pitch to talk culture, learning about this much profiled player prior to his latest chapter with Championship side, Derby County.

The aspiration of UNMARKED is to bring you conversations with footballers in their natural element talking about life on and off the pitch, their interests and more. It's a chance to celebrate black culture in football and shine a light on social issues in the game.  

Out Of Home is a collective of four Londoners based in Amsterdam who ask real questions that real fans want to hear. The SoccerBible x Out Of Home partnership will stay true, building upon the unique storytelling and grass-roots values already established by the OOH team, while utilising SoccerBible’s brand power and global audience to bring new opportunities and further reach. The partnership will be based on parallel thinking and a mutual regard of modern football culture and will provide a new outlet for football’s generation of culturally switched-on footballers.
