Kelly Smith And Rachel Yankey On Hall Of Fame

Ex-England and Arsenal veterans, Kelly Smith and Rachel Yankey, have been inducted into the National Football Museum’s Hall of Fame.

The former Arsenal pair, who have amassed almost 250 England caps between them, were both welcomed following their contributions at both club and international level, prior to their retirements this year.

Kelly won 117 caps, scoring 46 goals for her country. She also won five league titles, a Uefa Cup and five FA Cups, scoring six times in those five finals.

Rachel won eight league titles, lifting nine FA Cups and the Uefa Cup in her time with the Gunners. She also accumulated 129 caps for the Lionesses.

They were welcomed by 2016 inductee – and another former Gunner – in the form of Marianne Spacey.
