🎙️ One Punch That Changed Everything | The Story of Scott Akester | One Punch Hull In this emotional and powerful episode, I sit down with Debbie and Steve Akester, whose lives were changed forever when their son Scott Akester was killed by a single, unprovoked punch on a night out in Hull. Scott was just 31 years old — a dad, a son, a friend, a big Hull City fan, and a man loved by many. His death sent shockwaves through his community, and the legal battle that followed was long, painful, and filled with injustice — including lies from the man responsible, and a cover-up by his family. But this is also a story of strength, resilience, and hope. Debbie and Steve have since created One Punch Hull, a charity that works to educate young people, prevent violence, and change laws around ‘one punch’ assaults. Their mission is simple: make sure no other family has to go through what they’ve lived through. 🎭 We also talk about the powerful new stage play based on their story, their upcoming book, and how they continue to honour Scott’s memory by making real change. 💬 This episode is emotional, inspiring, and important — please watch, share, and help raise awareness. 👇 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Who Scott was, and the life he lived The night everything changed The lies told in court and the long fight for justice Why they waited to hold Scott’s funeral The creation of One Punch Hull and its mission A play, a book, and a legacy that could save lives 🔗 Support & Learn More:
