🚨 New Podcast Episode 🚨 This is a must watch
At 16, @mark_obrien92 made his pro debut for Derby County.
Months later, he was told he needed urgent heart surgery to save his life — and that he’d never play football again.
What happened next is nothing short of inspirational.
You don’t need to be a @NewportCounty fan, or even a football fan, to be moved by his story. ❤️
This is what it’s all about,
We are all in it together as one ..
Love it..
One county , one club
🧡🖤
📺 Earlier this week, the lads heard first-hand just how powerful football can be.
Staff, volunteers & participants from @CountyCommunity shared heartfelt stories about what Newport County means to them.
Together, we are #OneClubOneCounty 🧡
