Welcome to the very first episode of The Drop In! Each episode, Kate meets some of the game’s biggest names and some of its most quietly influential minds to understand who they are and some of the lessons they’ve taken away from their experiences in football and in life.

Former Premier League striker and Wales hero Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu dropped by the studio to discuss the key to Wales’ success, why footballers can’t open up, and how he has adjusted to life without a club. He also reveals the three people who have most profoundly shaped his life.

Next up: Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle. Got a question for him? Find us on socials @footballramble.
