In an exclusive episode of The Lower League Look, Liam & Hannah sit down with Jake Tabor, the 22-year-old non-league football phenomenon who has taken the English football pyramid by storm. Dubbed the "next Jamie Vardy," Tabor shares his remarkable journey from non-league football in Watford to becoming the leading goalscorer in English football for two consecutive seasons, netting an astonishing 127 goals in 91 appearances for Amersham Town in the Combined Counties League Premier Division North.

Tabor opens up about his unconventional path, including playing various roles from right-back to striker, and balancing football with work. He discusses his prolific scoring record, including 170+ goals over three seasons, and the viral attention that led to a Football Manager simulation where he becomes a Premier League star. With trials lined up at EFL clubs like Swindon Town, Tabor reflects on his ambitions to prove doubters wrong and make the leap from non-league to professional football.

The interview delves into Tabor’s time with Amersham Town, his decision to leave after manager Stuart Atkins’ resignation, and his strategic approach to pre-season trials. Candid and determined, Tabor shares his mindset of staying grounded while chasing a "life-changing" opportunity in the EFL, drawing parallels to Charlie Austin’s rise. Packed with insights into non-league football’s grit and Tabor’s infectious passion, this episode is a must-listen for fans of underdog stories and the beautiful game’s grassroots.
