Grace Merritt “Graced” Us with her presence - meet the 20 year old who interviewed David Beckham

One of the biggest aspects of doing this podcast online for the past 30 months has been the ability to connect with unique people from across the international football fraternity. Whether it’s the official broadcasters of the FIFA World Cup (Semra Hunter), former CEOs of Premier League clubs (Peter Moore) or in this case - a young journalist who has been a former left winger in her playing days and is now working with the Steven Gerrard academy and encouraging growth of female participation in football.
Having Interviewed David Beckham during her time reporting on Inter Miami, Grace has also visited the campus of Global Institute of Sport, which is right next to where the Wembley Stadium is situated. This had obviously prompted our Co-founder, Dwaipayan Mukherjee, to begin boasting about his time in the same college during his international study trip in the second half of last year.
We also discussed the approach of Grace Merritt while going to cover a game or any peripheral event related to the game because as a journalist, people have been developing their own ways to get things done. At the end of it all, you’ll be really surprised to learn that Grace Merritt will turn 21 in just a few weeks’ time.
