The Football Gods

Conor Coady is a Football God: “Racism. It’s the one thing I would take away from football”

Episode notes

Conor Coady discusses his move from Wolves to Leicester, his early football memories, banning racism from the game and expresses how he'd improve VAR as his first act as Football God. 

Conor Coady started at Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2015 and it was at Molineux where he made the switch from midfield to defence. He played over 300 games for the club, winning the Championship in the 2017–18 season. In 2022–23, he was sent on loan to Everton, before joining Leicester City in 2023.

The Football Gods gives famous faces the ultimate footballing role: total power over the beautiful game. Listen as they shape football to their whim and ultimately become The Football Gods. Join our hosts - broadcaster Kate Mason and journalist Tim Spiers - as we ponder the all-important questions such as...“Which player would you send to hell?”, “What flavour pie would be considered the food of the Gods?” and “Which game would you watch forever?”

Given the power, how would you change football?
