- Nov 07, 2020
We want to change the way people think about England teams. At the men's tournaments, we haven't exceeded expectations, and it's the same with the women's. If we can change that, it could have a knock-on effect, even for the men's team.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was OK at tennis - good enough to beat Serena Williams, definitely... But no, I don't really like playing solo sport,s so I don't think I could have got to the top. I was just decent. Maths is my true calling in life, which is bizarre.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From my family, my mum, auntie and nan were all strong women and why I am who I am today.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I played in the 2015 World Cup. I scored in two games; we got to the semi-finals and eventually ended up getting the bronze medal. That was a big turning point in my career, personally, and for English women's football, too.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I signed for Lyon, I pictured myself lifting the Champions League trophy, and I don't think that has ever changed.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I thought I was going to stay at City, but when a team like Lyon comes in for you, I think I'd have regretted it if I had said no to them. Not just because of making finals, but because of the players I get to play with every single day.
- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've got a little vegetable patch in my garden. I moved from a city apartment into a house this year and needed something to do outside football.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've had four knee surgeries in my career. I just don't do small injuries. The highs of winning are always balanced out by the lows of being injured and missing games. There was a time when I was out for nearly a year, having already been out for six months with another surgery before that.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I could, I'd change the way I came up through the football ranks. I'd love to have had an academy life the way the boys have it. I think female footballers would be so much better for having that opportunity, and we'd be more effective because we would be better players.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The one thing in the world that I can't do without is my glasses. I don't really care about my laptop, I never answer my phone, and I don't care about trainers and stuff. But I'm pretty blind without my glasses or contact lenses.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not scared of snakes, spiders, flying... nothing scares me apart from needles. I just hate them. Which is quite funny because I've had four knee operations, and I've got tattoos, so I've seen a few needles in my time.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like where I lived in Alnwick; I always tell people about it. There's so much to do there, even though it's so small and quaint.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've met lots of footballers like Alan Shearer, David Beckham, and Steven Gerrard. I don't really get starstruck because I just think they're another footballer like me; they just get paid a lot more.
- Cake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everyone who knows me knows that I always eat cake. My nutritionist hates it, but I just tell her I like to eat it, and she's not going to stop me!
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's good that the womens' game is being pushed, and maybe the men can look at our game every now and then and learn something from the way we approach the game.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Moving out and living on my own was a big thing, but to be in a different country with different coaches and a different mentality changed me as a person, as a player, the way I think about things and the way I see people.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I run the most for every team that I play for. That's because I ran so much when I was younger.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think because of how big the women's teams at Lyon and PSG are, the expectation on the team and the huge fan base - it leaves the door open for so much media. But I think that's a good thing.
- Humble
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's something I learned at Lyon: how humble and grounded the best players in the world are. They're always wanting more. At Lyon, they're winners. At England, it's the same.
- Pressure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think, to a certain extent, there is a pressure, although I don't think I've felt the pressure at Lyon more than I've felt at any other club I've played at.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's a thing in France, and I think you see it a little bit in Spain with Atletico: the countries and the cities just absolutely love their football. It's not because they're just marketing geniuses; it's because they've made it simple.
- Inside
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a World Cup, the girls at Lyon are probably the ones that are going to change the games, and I know them inside out.
- Drive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was really, really shy. My dad used to drive me for an hour and a half to go training. I used to finish school, jump in the car, come back, and go to bed. I missed out on socialising with my friends when I was a shy child anyway.
- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At Sunderland, all the girls knew each other. I wasn't that extroverted person to go join in. I was a little bit in my shell. But as soon as I started kicking a football, it was fine.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never been that person who has a lot of self-doubt.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just don't have that natural instinct to be able to let my guard down and start speaking to people. I never have - I've always been a bit socially awkward, even with people I've known for a long time.
- I Remember
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember, when I was at Sunderland, we made the FA Cup final and played in front of 20,000 at Derby.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I adored my brother when I was younger, so I wanted to do everything he did.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For England, I play centre-half. I enjoy it. You face all the best strikers in the world. I enjoy the challenge.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father is Portuguese, and in Portugal, it is traditional to take your mother's maiden name as a middle name. My mum is called Tough.
- Play
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I first signed a contract with a women's team, my contract stated that if I played, I would get 100 pounds, and if I didn't play, it would be zero.
- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't get paid enough money really to live properly, sleeping on people's sofas and stuff, but that was the moment when I thought, 'I just wanna play football professionally; whether I get paid 10 euros or 10,000 euros, I just wanna play.'
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanna play until I am 45 if my body will let me. After football, I have no idea.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never had a problem with the people I was close to because I was playing football with them, and they knew I could play. It didn't matter that I was a girl.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started on the phones, taking orders, and then I did the toppings, making the pizzas, cutting and boxing them - everything, really.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's always lovely to win trophies, have nice things said about you, and be nominated for individual awards. But I feel I can give more - a lot more - to both Lyon and England, and that is definitely my focus.
- Improvement
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't feel like congratulating myself, because I know there's still a lot of room for improvement.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just want to challenge myself all the time.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I stay somewhere for a couple of years and then think, 'What next?' I find it easier to challenge myself by going to different clubs, environments, and playing with different players.
- England
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've done quite a bit in England. I've won the majority of trophies and awards that there is to win, apart from top goalscorer... which is hard as a defender.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Football is something I would never give up on, whether I ended up playing professional or in a Sunday league team.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You cannot win a game of football on your own; it's about the entire squad working together to achieve something. That's how football works: it has always been about the group, not the individual.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You're not best friends with someone just because you work with them, but you have to be able to at least work together, or there is no point.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's probably the wrong way round, I know, but I just love maths and doing equations. When I was a kid, I was really good at it, so when I was seven, I asked my mum what job lets you do maths and pays you for it. She said accountancy, and that was it. I was dead set.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't dream of joining Man City as a professional one day, or representing England, because I didn't know that was even possible.
- Enough Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I went to my first FA Cup final, we had to pack bags in Tesco to raise enough money for a bus to London. Now, I own a house.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to go back to school, get my master's, and do the accountancy thing at last. You know, get back to the dream. The real dream, that is, not the football dream.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I played with the likes of Kelly Smith, Rachel Yankey, and Fara Williams - all these great players. Everybody knew who they were, and I was turning into one of these girls who were always my heroes.
- England
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At Lyon, there's 20 other superstars there - I'm not the best player there. I'm not the best player at England.
- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't do tricks, but I absolutely loved trying, and one of my fondest memories growing up was trying to imitate Ronaldinho and do his dance.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There were three football fields next door to my house. I used to walk down to the boys' team, but eventually, I was told I was going to have to stop playing because I was a girl.
- First
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I turned up for my first day training with England Under-19s super excited, and I just happened to bang my knee on the floor, and it just blew up. It turned out that I'd completely snapped it in half.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I'm playing football, it's what I know; it's what I'm good at. The spotlight is not just on you: you're with 10 of your team-mates. I could have done other sports, like tennis and athletics, but I like being part of a team where it's not just about you; it's about everybody.
- Eyes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At Sunderland, our kit was five times too big, and we got the local bus to games; in America, I got bags of Nike kit, flew to away games, and played in front of thousands of fans. It opened my eyes to what women's football could - and should - be.
