How did you get into football?

I played at my local village Saturday morning kick around at Hinderwell and realised I was ok and enjoyed it

Favourite football memory to date?
Playing for England in the 2013 euro final against France and getting a runners up medal

Which player most inspired you and why?
I always wanted to be like Kelly Smith she had tekkers and played for her country

What was the best advice given to you by any coach?
I was really small as a kid and still am now but when I used to play big players they would always say to me " bigger they are harder they fall"

Best player you’ve played with?
All my teamies now are unbelievable players club and international level so I couldn't single anyone out

Toughest opponent?
Gemma Bonner quick centre half who reads the game really well

What tip would you give a young player hoping to succeed?
I'd say it's hard work to be one of the best but if you love and enjoy the game the outcome will be so worth it
