“When you hit 30, people have got this perception that you're past it, and I really disagree with that.”

“Whenever you enjoy it, you always play the best football.”

“I am very comfortable in my own skin.”

“A woman in my local area decided to put on an opportunity for girls to come and play football for £2 each Sunday. That's how I started.”

“It is a bit surreal for me because I have been a lifelong Birmingham fan, so to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is a massive honour.”

“Every little girl's dream, every little boy's dream is to play at Wembley, so for a girl to do it and collect the 100th cap there was just a massive achievement. So, I think that's when it really hit me.”

“I went to university - I never would have gone to university through football. I've got a degree. I've got a master's. I've met some amazing people, I've lived my dream. I've picked up so many skill sets that I never would have.”
