Eni Aluko: Fighting the FA + Faith in Football

Listen on

Episode notes

Today we're joined by pundit, solicitor and Juventus forward Eniola Aluko. 
Eniola has won practically every honor possible in England, winning the League title multiple times with Chelsea and the FA Cup with Charlton. She's also made more than 100 appearances for England and was on the 2015 World Cup team that got 3rd place in Canada.
 
However, now she's more well known for being an accidental whistleblower having spoken up against racism and bullying within the England setup under ex-manager Mark Sampson. That idea of taking on an institution is one of the main topics we discuss in this episode. 
 
We'll also explore, faith within football, why women players are more outspoken and the differences in childhood experiences between men and women footballers.
 
If you enjoy this podcast, then you will absolutely love her new book, They Don't Teach This. If you want to reach out to her, her twitter handle is @EniAlu
