It’s hard to put into perspective the things that Hedvig Lindahl has been able to accomplish in the beautiful game. With nearly two-hundred caps for Sweden, she is – by some distance – the most-capped Swedish goalkeeper of all-time.

It’s an amazing conversation that touches on everything from playing as a kid between two apple tress in her garden to her burning desire to be the best; along with the fight for equality, in sport and in life, her journey with her own sexuality – and whether or not she is retired!Honestly, this is a belter – and we’re delighted Hedvig has joined us for it!
