Welcome to the Sky Sports Football podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing.

From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. Whatever the moment, it's never

ordinary at Bet365.

Hello, happy Sunday. Hope you're all holding up okay. Welcome to the football show. We'll be focusing on the women's game for the next half an hour. Joining me as usual is former England international Sue Smith. How are you Sue? I'm very well. Thanks, Jess. How are you?

Yeah, good thanks. Good to hear it.

Now, joining us both on the show this week, we have a very special guest.

She became a global star when she won a bronze medal with England at the 2015 World Cup.

You might have also seen her banging in a fair few goals for Chelsea over the last few seasons. Here's a reminder. Yes, it is of course, but the best that you ever seen.

Yes, it is of course Fran Kirby, Fran.

Fran, so good to see you.

You've got a smile on your face, which is great to see.

We haven't seen you for a while.

Of course, you haven't played football for about six months, but how are you?

I'm good. I've been in a bit of hibernation, I think. That's how it feels and I'm kind of coming out of it now.

So yeah, I'm good, thank you.

Now you've obviously revealed in the last few weeks that you're dealing with this heart condition, perichyditis.

some quite horrible sharp pains in my chest, tiredness. And yeah, I went to the hospital and kind of had all the checks the ECG and

everything and got diagnosed with it the next day after experience you know quite some nasty
