S12E28 Suzanne Winters Wonderland

Scottish Football Forums Podcast

This weekend is another landmark moment in the Scottish Women's game as Rangers and Hibernian meet at Tynecastle in the Final of the SWPL Cup, now of course known as the Sky Sports Cup Final thanks to their recent investment. In line with this, John B is joined by current Sky Sports pundit and 104 capped ex-Scotland international Suzanne Winters (aka Suzanne Grant from her playing career).

Suzanne previews the big game and the significance of Sky's investment into the Women's game up here before elaborating on her role with the broadcaster. We then go onto talk about her playing career, where she made her international debut at 16 BEFORE making a club appearance. After starting out at local clubs Ross County and Inverness, Suzanne moved onto Glasgow City and her playing career would take her through Hibs, Arsenal, Celtic and Motherwell before retiring from a knee injury in 2017. She talks about the joys of each club she played for as well as highlighting challenges that she faced, including how a meeting between her mum and her school headteacher paved the way for her to allow her to play football instead of netball. Suzanne's twin sister Shelley is also a footballer and both are married to mens players, Suzanne to David Winters (brother of Robbie Winters) and Shelley to Don Cowie.

We round off with the usual quickfire questions, including a rather peculiar choice of pie.
