The Knock About welcomes its very first guest — Everton star Aurora Galli! Aurora takes us inside her remarkable journey: from dominating at Juventus, to uprooting her life to join Everton without speaking a word of English, to scoring on the biggest stage of all — the World Cup. She also opens up about the tough road back from a major ACL injury and her determination to return stronger than ever.With her comeback on the horizon, the guys don’t hold back, grilling Aurora on fierce rivalries, playing against her partner, pre-match superstitions, and the art of a proper celebration. And, in true British style, they introduce their Italian guest to a… unique local delicacy: a steaming mug of Bovril.Listen every Thursday wherever you get your podcasts or you can watch full episodes on YouTube.Make sure to follow us on all socials, just search @knockaboutpodJoin our LEBOM League and bet against the guys! https://lebom.app/i/DpQJODdvwFYfz5PWEB0qoShare your wild footy stories and dilemmas to hello@knockaboutpod.comYou can send your messages, voice notes, pics and videos to our Whatsapp: +447304493764

Plus, they tackle your dilemma about local fans and seats going to outsiders.Meanwhile, Ted is absolutely fuming after narrowly missing out on £4,000 in the LEBOM Universe — and to rub salt in the wound, Jamie drops by to brag about his massive win.Listen every Thursday wherever you get your podcasts or you can watch full episodes on YouTube.Make sure to follow us on all socials, just search @knockaboutpodJoin our LEBOM League and bet against the guys! https://lebom.app/i/DpQJODdvwFYfz5PWEB0qoShare your wild footy stories and dilemmas to hello@knockaboutpod.comYou can send your messages, voice notes, pics and videos to our Whatsapp: +447304493764
