Vauxhall Jermaine

Vauxhall Jermaine (aka Jermaine Vauxhall Liburd) has been an actor and writer for over four years. Originally from Nottingham, his Grandfather named him after the car he owned. Vauxhall is no stranger to difficult situations. He had
a very troubled childhood. He lived with his mum until he was three but his mother moved to Belgium and Vauxhall was put in foster care and then into a children's home. He first met his father when he was eight years old, but four years later and due to his behavioural problems, he was sent away to a specialist boarding school in North Yorkshire. He returned to Nottingham when he was 16 but was homeless within 18 months, living in hostels. His own son was born before he turned 19 and by then Vauxhall had become a criminal (burglaries, selling drugs, robbing people, selling counterfeit clothes). He also lost a brother to heroin in 1999. The only thing that kept him from going completely off the rails was his relentless pursuit of football and love of the sport. It was the only thing that was keeping him from falling off the social radar completely. He knew that it was the one route out of his downward spiral and if a door opened for him, even slightly, that would be enough to turn his life around. At 24 he started football coaching men part-time who had just been released from jail on tag and was also doing youth work. Circumstances changed and he moved to Manchester but found himself homeless again. But former England international Carlton Palmer gave him his first taste of professional football at 25, letting him train and play reserve football with league side Stockport County. While on trial for Kettering Town, Vauxhall scored against former premiership club Birmingham City FC, 13 seconds after coming on as a substitute. Over the next few years he played lots of reserve football for different league/conference sides around the UK but unfortunately never made the first team. It was Lewes FC, near Brighton, that finally gave him his first team break at 32. He retired soon after that, quietly satisfied that he'd tasted what he had dreamed about. In 2006 he was picked out of 15,000 people to appear on a BBC reality show called Extreme Dreams with Ben Fogle and spent three weeks in a rainforest in South America. Back in England a career in the media beckoned and Vauxhall moved to London in 2008 after appearing on a couple of other reality shows - he had already done some background work on films and sports/commercials whilst still playing football. Vauxhall became the regular commercial body-double for four times champion league winner Clarence Seedorf, filming campaigns for sponsors such as ITV and Heineken. A friend of his asked him to give a motivational presentation to some staff at an employment agency back in Nottingham. Vauxhall thoroughly enjoyed it, it hit the spot with his audience and he had found his vocation in motivation.
