How important have your team-mates been during all the highs and lows?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve met people here that I\u2019ll keep in touch with for life, like my best friend, Steph. I\u2019ve known a lot of these girls for years: Leah, Kim, Katie, Caitlin. You go through a lot that people don\u2019t see, both personally and as a footballer. I wouldn\u2019t have got through some of those moments without them. <\/p>\n For my mum\u2019s funeral, the full team showed up. That\u2019s a special bond and a very special thing about this set of people. They didn\u2019t have to do that, but they wanted to do what they could to support me and my family. What they\u2019ve done for me on days where I\u2019ve really struggled has been incredible. There are moments that I\u2019ll cherish with these people forever. They are your family away from home and I\u2019m very happy that I\u2019ve had the chance to meet these people I love.<\/p>\n What has the support from our fanbase meant to you during those tough times?<\/strong><\/p>\n The supporters are incredible and they can lift us up so much during matches, but they\u2019ve also shown a lot of love off the pitch. Although we share a lot of our lives, some of it isn\u2019t there to be seen, so just receiving that little bit of support and love from someone who doesn\u2019t even know you goes a long, long way. <\/p>\n You never know what\u2019s happening in anyone\u2019s life. All you can do is show love and support regardless of what it looks like. I\u2019m very much a person who believes that you support people in whatever way you can \u2013 whether it\u2019s by actions, words or just from a distance. I think our fans have been amazing at that over the years, especially through the hard times I\u2019ve been through.<\/p>\n Do you have a standout game across your years at Emirates Stadium?<\/strong><\/p>\n Walking out at Emirates Stadium will never get old. That first game against Chelsea in 2021 is actually one of my favourite ever games. It was the start of our Emirates journey and we beat Chelsea, which was nice. There\u2019s an amazing picture of me peeling off to the crowd when I scored. At the time, we were all like, \u201cWow, how many people are here?\u201d You don\u2019t forget those moments, but now to play there on a regular basis and to see how many people show up each week, it\u2019s pretty incredible. They\u2019re the best fans in the world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How important have your team-mates been during all the highs and lows?
