  • In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Simon Brown.
    Making his way through the ranks in the REME Corps, Simon experienced postings to Germany, Kosovo & Iraq. A kinetic second tour of Iraq led to him being shot in the face by a sniper, resulting in the loss of one eye, and 20% remaining vision in the other.
    Simon has become an inspirational force in multiple communities and outlets, coaching the Leeds Rhinos PD Rugby Team, becoming a councillor for Morley & working with Blind Veterans UK.
