On Sunday morning, 27 September 2026, I had the honour of appearing on RTÉ Radio 1’s Sunday with Miriam.

Additionally, in conversation with Miriam O’Callaghan, I spoke about my memoir, Unbroken – The Liam Beville Story.

Additionally, Sunday with Miriam, we spoke about the morning in June 1983 that changed everything.

I was eighteen when I was struck by a stolen car travelling at roughly 60 mph.

It left me with catastrophic injuries to both legs.

Six months in a wheelchair.

Twelve months in full plaster casts.

Nobody expected me to walk properly again, let alone compete.

Unbroken-The Liam Beville Story tells the forty-year journey that followed – how powerlifting became the way I rebuilt my strength and my identity, eventually leading to six simultaneous world records and recognition from Guinness World Records. It’s a story about adversity, resilience, and what happens when you refuse to let one moment define the rest of your life.

Thank you to Miriam and the team at RTÉ for having me on and giving me the opportunity to share my story.
