Description

This week’s Football God is sports journalist Lynsey Hooper. In her role as God, Lynsey is banishing the 1921 FA President, wiping a 2012 West Brom, Wolves match from history and introducing klaxons and pedometers to the game. 
Lynsey is a broadcaster for Sky Sports and 10 years ago she set up a unique podcast the Offside Rule - a hugely successful all-female fronted football podcast.

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?
