🎧 109 | The Grove x Princess Gooner (Amanda)

In this episode of The Grove Podcast, Tabs and Ian (aka. @ArseCannonPics) continue their “Community Cast” series with a very special guest – the iconic Amanda, also known as Princess Gooner from the Same Old Arsenal Podcast and BBC Radio contributor.

Amanda is more than just a lifelong Arsenal fan – she's literally part of the fabric of the club, with her face featured on the Emirates Stadium mural. She shares her journey from being taken to Highbury at age 4 by her Gooner dad, to attending that magical Anfield ‘89 night, to co-hosting one of the most beloved fan-led Arsenal podcasts.

We talk about:

• Growing up Arsenal and what it meant in her family

• Her role in the Same Old Arsenal Podcast and how it came to be

• Memories of Anfield 1989 and other historic moments

• Her media appearances and staying grounded

• Her beautiful friendship with the late, great Kevin Campbell ❤️

• Being immortalized on the Emirates Stadium mural

• How football fandom has evolved—and how she keeps it real

This episode is full of nostalgia, emotion, and pure Arsenal heart. A must-listen for any Gooner.
