Faye Carruthers is joined by Suzy Wrack, Tom Garry and Sophie Downey to pay tribute to Matt Beard, who has died at 47. They also speak to Victoire Cogevina Reynal about Mercury13’s investment in Bristol City Women This week’s pod opens with heartfelt tributes to Matt Beard, whose sudden death at 47 has left a huge void in the women’s game. We reflect on his legacy, both on and off the pitch. On the field, Manchester City hit five past Spurs, Chelsea maintain their perfect start, and London City Lionesses celebrate their first-ever WSL win. Plus a goalless draw between Manchester United and Arsenal, Brighton’s big result, and concern for West Ham. Later in the pod, Victoire Cogevina Reynal joins us to discuss Mercury13’s takeover of Bristol City Women and what the future holds for the club under their ownership model.
