The One with Arthur Webber

When Arthur Webber was growing up, football was there for him in a big way.

A kid who tried a fair few different sports and an Arsenal fan during the glory days of Arsene Wenger, he loved nothing more than playing for his school’s football team.

But when he was forced to choose between being true to who he was and continuing in the beautiful game, Arthur stepped away from football – and it was years before he felt able to return.

When he did, he made up for lost time – firstly for LeftFooters FC, and then, as a history-maker with TRUK United as the skipper of the world’s first all-transmasc eleven-a-side team, captaining them in a match that made headlines around the world.

With a book on the horizon and a passion for football in the here-and-now, you can see why we wanted to get Arthur onto the podcast – and he’s a great guest that we think you’re going to love.

From the unique reason he ended up as an Arsenal fan to becoming a role model to others, this is a chat that has a little bit of everything in it – and we’re really grateful that Arthur made the time to join us for it.
