  • Amazing idea and guests, shame about Sue

    Love the guests Sue has but her manner here does not reflect her and her ruthlessness in real life! Put me off the podcast after meeting her. Massive shame as women’s sport really is growing and more exposure is great.

  • Gail Newsham Interview

    As a football loving girl growing up in Preston in the 80s and 90s I had heard lots about Dick Kerr ladies. Listening to Gails interview has brought back so many memories of playing in the north west as a tiny 14yr old girl, as well as reminding me of how inspiring the Dick Kerr ladies were and are still today. Thanks for a wonderful interview and thanks Gail for continuing to tell the story.
