Chelsea Legend Claire Rafferty on her work in football since retirement, living with ADHD and the fortunes of her former clubs

On today’s Upfront, Chloe and Rachel are joined by Chelsea legend and former Lioness Claire Rafferty to discuss about transfers and scouting in the men’s and women’s game. And, as ADHD Awareness Month comes to an end, Claire reflects on her experience of being diagnosed with – and living with – the condition.


She also discusses the trajectories of two of her former clubs in the WSL this season: unstoppable Chelsea and struggling West Ham.
