Stand-up comedian Maisie Adam presents her stand-up special where she discusses her love of football and her experience of the women's game ahead of the Women's World Cup 2023. She begins by looking at fondness for the game as a child, always being the "girl" football fan, and how it felt when she could not play at school.
Maisie reflects on football infrastructure in the UK and why it felt like you had to move to the USA, Bend It Like Beckham style, if you wanted to pursue football professionally as a woman. She's joined by the leading global scholar of women's football, Professor Jean Williams, to help her find out why this was the case for well over a hundred years.
Maisie looks back on the best day of her life - the Lionesses winning the Euros 2022 in front of a home crowd. We also hear from some of her own football team who tell us what football means to them.
In this final episode, Maisie looks to the future. What will the legacy be for the women's game after the Lionesses inspiring Euros victory? She's joined by special guest, England captain Millie Bright, to talk about her own football journey, her Euros victory memories and the upcoming Women's World Cup.
