As AFC Bournemouth women head into a new era, our next guest on our official podcast is someone in the middle of it all! 

Lucy Cooper has only just turned 18, but she's incredibly mature for her age. Alongside playing football for the Cherries, she's also studying for A Levels and faces crucial exams in the coming months. She still found time to sit down for our podcast, as she delves into her love of reading and passion for sport. 

Ahead of this weekend's game against Portishead Town at Vitality Stadium, Cooper discusses life on and off the pitch in depth with Zoe Rundle and Neil Perrett.
