Looking into the future: LIFE AFTER football, having CHILDREN, BABY names | The Tooney & Russo Show

After episode 2 with tarot reader Kayla, Vick Hope is left with plenty of unanswered questions about what the future holds for Ella Toone and Alessia Russo. So, she sits down with them to dive deeper into their thoughts on what’s ahead. Tooney admits that family life is a distant dream for now—but that hasn’t stopped her from stockpiling baby names in her phone. Meanwhile, Vick shares how she finally convinced her Liverpool-supporting husband that naming their soon-to-arrive baby after Mohamed Salah might not be the best call. Alessia reveals the heartwarming pride her nan feels about her friendship with Tooney, including the moment she grew concerned over unfounded falling-out rumours. And Vick uncovers how football clubs support players navigating maternity, with both Ella and Alessia reflecting on teammates who’ve stepped away from the pitch to embrace motherhood. 00:00 Intro 01:03 Do Tooney and Less think about the future? 03:15 What does life after football look like? 06:40 Having children and football maternity 15:41 Baby names 19:14 Where will Tooney and Less live after football? 20:04 50 years from now ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe and 🔔 to BBC Sounds YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/bbcsounds?s...
