Show Notes
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.
Her international career has seen her reach the World Cup Final in 2003, along with two Olympic silver medals, two World Cup bronzes and three bronzes from the European Championships – while her domestic career includes two WSL titles with Chelsea, along with the Super Copa in Spain and a double won in Germany as well.
She counts Wolfsburg and Atletico Madrid amongst her former teams – and we are absolutely over the moon to have on a player who dreamed of becoming the best goalkeeper in the world, and absolutely made it happen.
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!
