I hear the Sunday morning @timesradio panel at 9am is well worth the bother and I'm sure a big driver of the increase in listeners:) @Chloetilley @CalumAM @SamMcAlister1. A joy to be part of this. thetimes.com/uk/media/artic…


On @TimesRadio we spoke about the future development of women's football. But the biggest source of inspiration for the next generation isn't skills or pace (which will build through additional resource) but character which the Lionesses have in spades. So proud of them.
