Welcome to the latest "Let’s Hae a Wee Blether Aboot Gambling in Scotland" podcast, brought to you by Fast Forward’s Scottish Gambling Education Hub. 

In this episode, we look at the connection between Gambling and Football.

We do this through the lens of Steph Shilton, wife of former Leicester City, Nottingham Forest and Southampton legend, Peter Shilton. Peter is still the most capped English player of all times having played for his country 125 times. 

In this episode, Steph speaks about her journey to support her husband through the ups and downs of gambling and how this led her to work with Gordon Moody.

We also spoke with Steven Jardine from Street League about their partnership with Fast Forward through the vehicle of sport.

Listener discretion is advised as we will be talking about some potentially triggering topics.  This podcast discusses various issues around gambling. If you are worried about, or affected by the gambling of someone close to you, please know that you are not alone and confidential support is available.
