Guys. I need your help. So last year I committed to running the @LondonMarathon for @TheStrokeAssoc in honour of my Dad. Stupidly, I only decided to start training 4 weeks ago 🤣 I need all the support & love to reach my target ❤️

- It’s actually amusing how worked up some people get over women playing football 🤣 God forbid you have any daughters/sisters/nieces who want to play football 😩 Respect to all the men I come across who are supportive and treat me and women’s football no differently 👏🏼
- Joining a new team is hard in the first place but to not be approved of by the fans & to just get slaughtered on social media after most games by your own fans is 💔 I’ve never cared about opposition fans doing it but when it’s your own fans it hits on another level 🙁
- I remember as a 16 year old youngster being devastated after being left out of an FA Cup Final. @karenjcarney pulled me aside, put her arm around me and told me I’d be playing in so many more. Has stayed with me till this day. Congrats on an incredible career Kaz 💙
00:00 - Absolutely delighted to have signed for @LiverpoolFCW & to be reunited with @mattbeard02. A manager who I believe gets the best out of me 🙌🏼 Can’t wait for season number 16 to start ❤️ #YNWA
- As much as the growth of the women’s game is brilliant now we are able to be full time professionals & inspire the younger generation.. I really don’t like the arrogance that the money & wages have brought into it. Players need to remain humble & remember how quick it can change
- “It was Fran’s mum’s birthday today. She passed away when she was young.” “Today was difficult, I said to her that her mum would be looking down proud.” “We’re a family, when she cries, we cry.” Phil Neville tells talkSPORT the story behind this photo with @FranKirby 👏
- Sometimes in life things don’t work out how you’d imagine them too but I’ll always hold this club in my heart ❤️ Hopefully my team mates, staff & fans know that I gave everything every time I wore the shirt ⚒️We can confirm that Gilly Flaherty will depart the Club at the end of her contract in the summer. We would like to thank Gilly for all of her efforts and contributions over the past four years and wish her the very best for the future. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3M0opRS
- Due to the circumstances around me retiring I never got to properly say goodbye to football 😥 but tonight will be for one person & one person only, my Dad ❤️ you will have the best seat in the house tonight Dad xFormer England internationals Gilly Flaherty, Abbie McManus and Jodie Taylor will be celebrated ahead of kick-off against the Netherlands at Wembley on 1 December. 🏴
- It’s taken me 11 years to finally have the courage and strength to talk about one of the lowest moments in my life. Please, if you get 5 minutes today take a look ❤️ #TimeToTalk #MentalHealthReplying to @WestHamWomen“Laying in hospital, with a drip attached, and my mum and dad arriving, that was the lowest I have ever felt in my life.” @Gilly_flaherty #HeadsUp #TimeToTalk #KickOffAConversation whufc.com/news/articles/…
- No no no no 😩 Walsh seemed to know straight away what that injury was 😔 She’ll be a huge loss for England if it turns out to be that dreaded 3 letter injury
- Having my first experience of being at a football match yesterday without Dad has really hit me hard today. Woke up really heavy headed & not moved off the settee all day. Grief is a full on rollercoaster of emotions 😢
