Move over Motson
In 2004, more women watched Portugal knock England out of the European Football Championships than tuned in to the top rated soap of the year.
Female fans now make up a fifth of Premiership football match crowds and the number of women playing football has increased ten fold in a decade. But how will all this change the nature of football broadcasting?
Female football commentator Jacqui Oatley, John Williams,ÌýDirector of the Centre for Sociology of Sport at Leicester University and Sophie Brown, co-author of EverythingÌýA Girl Needs To Know About Football, join Jenni, in a 4-4-2 formation, to discuss whether a day will come when women take over the microphones from the likes of John Motson and Alan Hansen.
Everything A Girl Needs To Know About FootballÌý by Sophie Brown and Simeon de la Torre is published in paperback by A&C Black, ISBN 0713672412
