This week on Name One Player, I’m joined by Aisling Byrne-Hansen, a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan joining us from the UK!

We get into her unique experience as a female NFL fan outside North America - what it’s like following the league from across the pond and why she created NFL Ladies UK.

Ash also shares her journey working with DAZN and Channel 5, how she took a leap of faith by starting to post NFL content on social media, and how that decision completely changed the trajectory of her career. We talk confidence, betting on yourself, and what happens when you finally say yes to putting yourself out there.

And of course… we can’t avoid it - We break down the Packers vs. Bears Wild Card game, the loss, the emotions that followed, and how Ash is processing the aftermath now that the season is over.

Charlotte is back for her second episode on Name One Player! Since she’s from the UK, she gives us an insider look at what being a football fan in England is really like. Charlotte breaks down the English football league system, explains what makes matchday culture so unique, and we compare how football (soccer) is experienced in Europe vs. North America.

We also dive into Charlotte’s history as a Hull City fan, why the club means so much to her, and what it would take for football culture to grow in North America. And of course—she ends the episode with a truly shocking Name One Player story you won’t want to miss.

This week, Charlotte joins me to unpack Sky Sports Halo - how it even came to be, and why the whole thing was so shocking that it felt like it couldn't actually be real. She also shares some insider context from within the sports world that gives a much clearer picture of what was actually happening behind the scenes.

We talk about her background working in and around sports, our honest thoughts on the Halo, and the bigger conversation it sparked about how women are treated in sports spaces. We get into whether creating “safe spaces” actually helps women or if it ends up separating us from the larger sports community. We also look at the PR and branding angle and whether Sky Sports can realistically recover from this moment.

It’s thoughtful, funny, and a surprisingly wild deep dive into what happens when intentions, execution, and audience trust all collide.
