Steve Brunsden - The Dessert Island

Today’s castaway should be somewhat accustomed to the island life. Having grown up surrounded by the beaches of Bournemouth - he remains living by the south coast to this day - a literal stones throw away from the Southbourne sands.

In his youth, our cheeky yet charming guest may not have found joy in textbooks or chalkboards, but once outside the confines of the classroom, the energy he put into the subject of his true passions would put him on the right track. 

A promising career in the field of athletics was where he excelled most - leading to appearances at multiple national finals. But going for gold was just as important as going for goals, as his talent also extended to the football pitch. And though playing up front for the Cherries wasn’t meant to be, he has covered multiple positions throughout an assortedly entertaining career, with transfers both domestic and overseas.

Whether it be serving drinks, selling items from christmas catalogues, driving tractors, calling clients, or even picking bananas - our castaway has never shied away from a challenge - no matter how questionable the role, or the clientele has been. Now, as an aspiring entrepreneur, his latest quest is to build the dream life for his wife Flick and their young son Bowie through his business ventures.

From Bournemouth to Bangkok, and Spain to Sydney - his escapades have taken him all over the world - and the only fitting introduction - which will make sense later - is through the following…

“There are tall ships, there are small ships, there are ships that sail the seas - but the best ships, are friendships - so here’s to you and me.

There are funny stories, there are wild stories - there are stories you wouldn’t quite believe - And now it’s time to welcome, to the Dessert Island - the one and only Steve”
