Issy's Broken Ankle, Sam Kerr's Goodbye Goal & The Wembley Quiz | UFH Ep27
from Ultimate Football Heroes Podcast · host Bonnier Books & Stripped Media
Issy turned up to record with a surgical boot. Broken ankle, end-of-season heartbreak, and George immediately starts looking for the "every cloud" silver lining (he doesn't read the room). Then it's straight into a huge Chelsea Saturday. Sam Kerr scored the only goal in the WSL final-day win over Manchester United Women, equalling Fran Kirby's all-time Chelsea record of 116 goals, and quietly announced she's leaving the club this summer. Meanwhile at Wembley, Antoine Semenyo broke the FA Cup Final open with a backheel that George is calling "a piece of art - frame it, stick it in the Louvre." Both hosts called the result on both games. One point each, both ways. Issy's now on 31, George on 26. We open the floor for World Cup voice notes. Where will you be watching, what's your bedtime strategy for those late kick-offs, which countries are you backing. Then it's time for a brand new Wembley Quiz. Six questions about the most famous stadium in football. George manages to slip Harry Styles into roughly half of them. Two predictions to round us out, and a reminder that the final weekend of the season counts DOUBLE. First, the Women's Champions League Final between Barcelona and OL Lyonnes in Oslo (Saturday). Second, Spurs vs Everton on Premier League final day (Sunday, 4pm BST).
