Rio Ferdinand Presents

Ella Toone Exclusive | “The day after I lost my dad I went into training"


Listen Later

Manchester United’s number 7 Ella Toone joins Rio to discuss how she dealt with the grief of losing her father whilst still playing football for her childhood club. Toone reveals how the club have helped her, how an injury enabled her to process things more easily and what she went through in the immediate aftermath.


On the pitch, Toone has a reputation for being a big-game player and Rio explores her mentality around those meaningful matches and why she is able to consistently deliver on such a stage.


There’s insight into how England’s Lionesses became such a successful team, the differences between Toone’s football WhatsApp group compared to Rio’s and they both reminisce about the first time they met, almost 15 years ago.
