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.
