Junior Baker

This week on The Set Peace Podcast, we’re joined by Junior Baker @skintuuteeet a well-respected figure across the non-league and semi-professional game, whose journey reflects years of consistency, commitment, and love for football.With strong connections to clubs like Cray Wanderers and Dulwich Hamlet, Junior has spent years competing within the semi-professional game, building a reputation not through hype, but through reliability, character, and presence within the football community.His story highlights what it really takes to stay in the game over time. For much of his playing career, Junior was travelling to matches and training on public transport before eventually learning to drive later on a small detail that says a lot about the level of dedication required to keep playing at that level.In this episode, we talk about his journey through non-league football, the lessons learned along the way, and how the game becomes about more than just playing it becomes about people, relationships, and the environments you’re part of.That same journey has naturally led him into management, where he now leads Kenningwell United. A role built on trust and relationships within the club, reflecting the respect he’s earned over the years. For Junior, it’s not just about results it’s about building something meaningful and continuing to give back to the game.This is a conversation about football in its entirety from playing to leading, from sacrifice to purpose and the people who dedicate themselves to the game at every level.The set peace podcast is about more than football it’s about the people behind it. Every 2 weeks, we sit down with guests across the game from pros to physios, coaches to players, these are the conversations we all need to hear, in football and in life. With 45 minutes talking football and 45 minutes on mental health and well-being these conversations are for everyone whether you’re in football or not.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1A9VTGxhEW/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: @thesetpeacepodcast TikTok: thesetpeacepodcast Website: www.thesetpeacepodcast.com
