As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Footballer and a lollipop lady (I thought they sold lollies!).

What superpower would you have and why?
I'd love to be able to read peoples' thoughts, so I'd know when the gaffer was having a dig at me!

What piece of advice would you have for aspiring female footballers?
Just enjoy playing and work hard, football is a short career.

When did you start playing football?
Started playing football at the age of five round the park with my brothers and sister, then joined a team when I was six.

When did you realise you could play at this level?
Can I? Aw, thanks! I guess when I signed for Chelsea Ladies.

What are your strengths on the pitch?
I read the game well and love one-on-one scenarios. I also talk a good game!

What are your strengths off the pitch?
I do a lot of football in the community work to help promote Chelsea Ladies and help young, inspired girls to get involved in the women's game.

What are your hobbies outside of football?
Golf, squash, theatre and spending time with my family and friends.

What's your most memorable moment playing for Chelsea Ladies?
Playing at the Emirates in 2009, because of the team effort and it's a huge ground!

Have you won any silverware in your career and if so, what and when?
I have won Manager's Player, Players' Player and Supporters' Player of the Year during my time at Chelsea and now I'm hoping for a team medal to put the icing on the cake this season.
