Karren's Choice |
 |
|
Kirsty Young’s castaway this week is the businesswoman Karren Brady.
She is known as the First Lady of Football – and it’s a moniker that is well earned. When she became Managing Director of Birmingham City she was just 23 years old, the club was languishing in the second division and it was in financial dire straits. Fifteen years later and it is in the Premier League and is one of the few clubs to turn a healthy profit.
Along the way Karren has married one of her players, had two children and overcome a life-threatening brain condition. She has always, she says, relied on her enthusiasm, determination and strength of character to see her through.
