    Eleanor Oldroyd is one of Britain’s most respected sports broadcasters. If you love sport, you’ll be incredibly familiar with Elly’s voice as she’s been on our airwaves since the 1990’s and is a real trailblazer for women in sports media.

  • Emma Hayes: Opening the door for female coaches in men’s football

    Emma Hayes is Manager at Chelsea Women. Having twice led Chelsea to the FA Cup and Super League double, once again this year Emma’s team won the Barclays FA WSL. 

    It’s a fascinating conversation where Emma talks very openly about her life, her career and shares lots of advice for others hoping to be high level coaches in the future. 

    Just to flag, there’s a little bit of occasional background noise of this podcast as the house next door to Emma’s had some building work going on while we spoke. It’s not too disturbing but just to let you know.

    Massive thanks to Barclays for once again supporting this series of The Game Changers which focuses on fearless women in football, reinforcing Barclay’s huge commitment to the beautiful game.
