There's Only One Ash Neville

Season 4, Ep. 115

Spurs Women have been very active in the January transfer window, so we got together for an emergency pod to recap all the business—and most importantly, say farewell to club legend Ash Neville and reflect on her iconic Spurs career.


First, we discuss every aspect of Super Ash's mid-season move:

  • Emotional reactions to the news
  • Timing of the transfer
  • Her fit with Leicester City
  • Our favorite Ash moments


Then we rate the five (5!) incoming transfers on a scale of 1-to-10 and preview the first of two back-to-back matches against Leicester, along with tackling a couple of listener questions.


Note: In this episode, we referenced our previous interview with Ash as well as a funny meme from listener Ryan. Both are linked below!
