A Long Time Coming
At the height of my playing career, David Baddiel wore blackface and put a pineapple on his head to mock me on TV every Friday night. The chants have remained ever-present, and David's name has become synonymous with mine, it’s taken 25 years for us to finally meet, face-to-face. In this episode*, we talk about the impact his racist sketches had on my career, my life and the wider community, and why allyship needs to become a bigger part of football.
*This episode was recorded before the 2022 Women's Euros final.
