Recalling the 2007 Champions League Triumph

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim talks exclusively to former Arsenal striker Lianne Sanderson. Lianne scored 41 goals for the Gunners during their record breaking 2006-07 quadruple winning season and started both legs of the historic 2007 UWCL Final against Umea. Lianne chats with Tim about the camaraderie that underpinned the team, the role of then assistant manager Emma Hayes on the UWCL campaign, how Arsenal responded to their best player Kelly Smith being suspended for both legs of the final and how the team adapted to being huge underdogs against Umea. Lianne also talks about her affection for the club all these years later, her pride at seeing the quadruple winning team on the side of the Emirates and her hope that Arsenal can do it again in Lisbon against Barcelona.
