Our beINSPIRED Podcast brings you the stories of inspiring and world-beating athletes who have turned adversity into opportunity. The podcast series reveals the key figures and moments that have helped propel our beINSPIRED guests from aspiring athletes into the world’s elite. By sharing their journeys we continue our commitment to provide a platform to incredible role models across all sports.

In the final episode of the first series of the beINSPIRED podcast, Carrie Brown interviews the indomitable Lianne Sanderson, who won the quadruple – the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the League Cup – with Arsenal in 2007 at just 17 years old. She went on to win the Premier League a mere five times with Arsenal. Lianne has not just served clubs; she has also won 50 caps for the England national team, winning the penalty for the team in the 2015 World Cup which would seal the bronze medal for the Lionesses, recording their strongest finish in a World Cup.

A dynamic presence on the pitch, Lianne Sanderson sacrificed her international career by backing England teammate Eniola Aluko who spoke out against discriminatory comments made by England women’s coach Mark Sampson. An independent investigation found in Aluko’s favour. It was a moment which brought a new level of exposure and respect for both the women’s game and the voices in it.

John Barnes says he's never suffered from racism, but rather racist incidents. The former Liverpool winger explains why the efforts of high profile sportsmen like Raheem Sterling and Lewis Hamilton won't change that, and what should be done instead.

Owen Hargreaves swapped Bayern Munich for Manchester United and won a Premier League and Champions League double in 2007/08. However, starring alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't last long - injury after injury meant he hardly featured again before leaving in 2011.
