Hello and welcome to the prize of football, the show that looks at the money behind the

0:14.8

beautiful game of me Kevin Day and Liverpool University's Kirin Maguire. How are you Kirin?

0:20.1

Since you've had another musical week by the look of your social media.

0:24.0

I have and I'd just like to say a huge shout out to one of our podcast listeners,

0:29.9

Brynn, who allowed me to go in the cab of a London tube train and made my choice of career

0:40.8

when I was six years old. He made that come true because I was told when they told me

2:09.8

at Wembley Arena and Harry Styles was playing at Wembley Stadium and slightly different
