& a big thank to all in & outside the ground for their congratulations & thanks for my contribution to the Women's game
Must mention the lady in the hotel, who shyly came up to me with a tear in her eye & said, "Thank you for changing the face of Women's sport"
Truly humbled🏴
So, a magical, lovely night & moment
49 years & 24 days after my debut, I finally received my

In my 11 year
@Lionesses
career, the men of the
@FA
never once allowed me to lead my country out onto the hallowed turf
But I can boast at least 6 appearances for my country at the Wembley Arena ('75, '76, '78 '81, '83, '84)
So pleased & proud to be back
👍👏👏⚽️⚽️⚽️🏴🏴🏴🏴

It's my special day. It involves the numbers 5 & 6, not necessarily in that order. 😉 Who would have thought this little Bumble Bee would travel the world as captain of England, accompany English footballing superstars and be a 'Lockdown Lady' !🤣🤣
