A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Ivan sits down with Scottie to uncover remarkable stories from her sporting journey — from representing New Zealand internationally to moments of real danger off the field. Scottie recounts a tense incident in Hong Kong where celebrations turned chaotic, including being escorted for safety after a win and having stones thrown at the team bus.

The conversation also dives into the early days of women’s football in New Zealand, the lack of recognition compared to the men’s game, and the passion that drove players to compete purely for love of the sport. Along the way, Scottie shares personal memories, rare photos, medals, and reflections on family, resilience, and what it truly meant to represent a country at a time when women’s football was still finding its footing.
