On the bench with Reading Fc women's manager Ed Jackson-Noris and defender Sarah Thompson
On the bench this week we have Reading Fc women's manager Ed Jackson-Norris and Reading Fc defender Sarah Thompson on the pod. In this week's episode we delve into both their careers within football from where Ed's coaching career started to where Sarahs playing career started at Reading Fc during her youth career. We talk about both their times at Maidenhead and we reminisce on the couple of seasons they had together winning trophies and winning cup finals. Not long after they both made the move to Reading Fc women's during a testing time not knowing if the team would fold but both trusted the process. The team around Ed trusted his coaching skills and knowledge to give Reading a good chance at getting up the table and have succeeded at that this season finishing high up in the league.
