The Fara Williams Way

What do WSL players wear when they’re out of their club kit? Maz Pacheco gives Fara Williams the inside track on fashion in the women’s game from training-ground outfits to the players and trends that have influenced her style. At Everton’s Finch Farm, the former teammates discuss why clothes are another way for players to express themselves, how football, music and fashion connect, and whether getting dressed up just to change into training kit is worth the effort. Fara has her own very practical answer. There’s also a look back at their days together at Reading, the high standards Fara set for a young Maz, and Maz’s ambitions beyond playing from coaching, scuba diving and her law degree to building businesses and becoming a billionaire in her 30s. An honest catch-up, plenty of teasing and a look at life beyond the pitch. This is Fara Meets on The Fara Williams Way.

She discusses Manchester United’s backing during her pregnancy, the practicalities of working with a club in terms of contracts, mapping out a return to training and healthcare professionals that helped Hannah through her pregnancy.
