Liam Treadwell (3 January 1986 – 23 June 2020) was an English National Hunt jockey, who won over 300 races between 2009 and 2019.
[6] After his Grand National victory on 4 April 2009, Clare Balding interviewed him and made fun of his apparently bad teeth.
[7] Balding later said on BBC's Have I Got News for You quiz that she believed Treadwell to have had his teeth "kicked out" by a horse, a common injury suffered by jockeys, apologising again for her error.
[1] Later in 2009, Treadwell caused another upset by winning the United House Gold Cup at Ascot on The Last Derby at odds of 33/1.
[4] His injury was featured in a Professional Jockeys Association film about the dangers of concussion in horse racing.
[2] Treadwell died on 23 June 2020, aged 34, in Billingsley, Shropshire, after taking a mixture of drugs including an animal painkiller and class A substances.
