Ep. 42: Rashford vs Goldbridge, Project ACL, and Yaya Touré’s Legacy

Marcus Rashford has found himself on the receiving end of online abuse on an industrial scale, and this week he finally clapped back. After Rashford said “enough is enough” and put the subject of abuse back on the radar, the VERSUS team looks at how contemporary fan culture has evolved to be so toxic and the role creators like Mark Goldbridge have played in that change. We also break down the recent moves to finally address the ACL injury epidemic in women’s football, and reflect on the cultural impact from one of African football’s true modern greats: Yaya Touré. ‘The Future of Football’ is a podcast from VERSUS bringing you closer to the people, the stories and the ideas shaping the future of the game we love.
