And actually, one of them is in my profile's banner pic, along with the Women's FA Cup trophy 🏆 ahead of our QF against Charlton Athletic (who went on to win that season).
Here's another from the 2005 FA Women's Awards, where we picked up the Fair Play Award. We ALL look a lot younger! 😆

Oooh I’ll DM him 👏🏻 Is that the best way forward?
I’ve had previous models of this shoe disintegrate in the uppers in the same way. 🤔
My pledge is not to buy more kit unless I absolutely require it (and can’t borrow it). 👍🏻

That’s amazing! 👏🏻
I think running with a mate last night, who mentioned his pledge and then that I was already well ahead of others (don’t drive, veggie etc), was the nudge I needed. Didn’t take much to tip me over but still... I was glad he did. And I’m so glad you followed.🥰💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🌍❤️

I think I’m me. How can I be sure?

I started playing for Sunderland as a 14/15yr old in 89/90. There'd been no teams to play for before that, aside from a handful of friendlies my primary school let me play in, when I was 11. I just had to watch my mates play matches before we could have a kick about again. My story is so common.
