What was Kirby s reaction? It s really special. It s an amazing achievement. My team-mates are amazing and I would never have won any of the awards or any of the trophies that I have without them, but to win this is really special, Kirby, who was crowned FWA Women s Footballer of the Year last month, said. I think that what we ve achieved has been incredible, so I m really proud to be a part of this team. Hopefully, I will be able to come back into the same kind of position I came into last year because I ve been playing like I love the game again and like I enjoy it, and that s when you get the best out of me.

The current affairs producer Francesca Kirby-Green and I shared many happy years at the BBC TV cutting rooms in Lime Grove, London. Francesca was right in maintaining that editing rooms were the place to learn the nuts and bolts of film-making. I learned my trade there and became a freelance director.
She would hate the rigid way BBC programmes are made today, as none are allowed to “breathe”, which was a skill she applied to all her exceptional work.
