The One with Carly Telford

Carly Telford is someone who has lived and breathed football for their whole life.

The legendary Lioness spent twenty years in the beautiful game, playing right around the world on some of the biggest stages that the sport has to offer.

So when new research came out showing that far too many female footballers believe that a lack of funding, sponsors and equipment are holding the game back, it was only natural that Telford was going to throw her weight behind the campaign to do something about it.

After all, the game is something that has given her so much – experience of playing around the world; triumphs in competitions like the She Believes Cup; the thrill of being part of World Cups, European Championships and the Tokyo Olympics; and so much more.

And, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Carly is also keen to represent in other ways as well – and it’s an honour to have her on the show with us today.

This is an amazing conversation that goes from everything from ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ to her first England call-up to the amazing changes that the women’s game saw during Carly’s time in it – and we think you’re really, really going to love this episode!
