At 15, a young Janie Frampton fell in love—not with a person, but with a sport: football.

In this episode of Greatest Minds, we sit down with Janie Frampton, a trailblazer in the world of football officiating, to discuss her journey from being one of the first female referees in England to becoming an international figure in sports refereeing and advocacy for equality.

Janie shares stories of the challenges she faced breaking into a male-dominated profession, and the barriers that fuelled her determination to succeed. From giving a red card to a hunting party during a match to being part of the first all-female officiating team for a men's professional game, Janie’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

You’ll also get to hear about the unique perspectives referees bring to the game, as well as her thoughts on the state of equality in football today. See the game through the eyes of a woman who’s seen it all!
