8. Favourite game played in by you (and why)? There is quite a few from when I played for the Millwall Lionesses, one when I scored two free-kicks against Chelsea. But recently, our cup runs last season beating Camden and Crystal Palace Development  – with both teams in the league above us – to reach the final against Tottenham Hotspur Reserves.

9. Your best attribute as a player? Left foot, crossing, free-kicks.

14. Do you listen to music to get you motivated, or while you train – if so, what tracks? House music.

15. Who, that plays for your team, should we know more about and why? It’s hard to choose just one, but our silent right back, Little Bex (Rebekah Collins). She doesn’t say much off the pitch, but confident in a game. Cool, calm and collected and I don’t think I have ever seen her lose the ball.
