OGT speaks to Permi Jhooti who was the original inspiration behind Bend It Like Beckham!

We speak about growing up in an era when women's football wasn't respected and her almost accidental foray into professional football.

This conversation is about themes and its fascinating listening to Permi ruminate on her life and the events that shaped her, including facing racism from within the changing room at Millwall and her thoughts on the perpetrator.

Now living in Switzerland, you can find Permi on insta @permijhooti and her website is permijhooti.com

Asians in football... we're getting there.
