The One with Laura Montgomery
The co-founder of Glasgow City FC on creating the team, and diversity in the game.
What would you do if you wanted to play football - but couldn't find a club.
Most of us would sigh, shrug our shoulders and find another sport to try - but Laura Montgomery isn't most people.
When she decided she wanted to play the game at a higher, more organised level, she decided to co-found Glasgow City - which has gone onto become one of the most successful teams in Scotland.
Started in 1998, it has become a dominant force, winning multiple titles and cups - becoming the first Scottish team to reach the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League in the process. And as if that wasn't enough to keep Laura busy, she's also the Head of Sales and Sponsorship at Hibernian.
We loved having Laura on - she's a fascinating, eloquent individual with so much drive and determination. A fitting guest for the 40th episode of the podcast!
