#7 AYOTF, 1 February 2020 - An interview w/ Frode Jurnhart, arguably the biggest Bulldogs supporter in the U.S.
Episode 7 - A Yank on the Footy
In this episode, I sit down for an interview with Frode Jurnhart, arguably the biggest Western Bulldogs supporter on the East Coast of the United States.
Frode talks about his 2019 trip to “The Kennel”, his interaction with many of the Bulldogs players, and how he was welcomed with open arms by the Bulldogs Cheer Squad.
He also talks about his first impressions of Marvel Stadium, and perhaps the most important part of the interview….talking about those wonderful, tasty Meat Pies.

OMG I’m in tears. It’s so lovely to hear you spreading the word. Footscray (Western Bulldogs) has always been the underdog. I was there on that wonderful day 1st October 2016 when we won the grand final. It was my husband and my 50th wedding anniversary and I went to the grand final (a son gave me the ticket) left husband home to watch the game on tv. We celebrated as a family our 50th Wedding Anniversary the day later on the 2nd. Thank you for spreading the word about our wonderful Western Bulldogs. The turn of the game was our Dale Morris take down Buddy in the Grand Final.

Great episode this week, loved hearing the passion from someone on the other side of the world about our sport. Probably also a benefit that he supporters the dogs as well. Keep building the interest in the game over there it may take a while but others will catch on eventually lol
