There are many things you can get out of football that you can take into the world of work. - Rachel Yankey

You have to stand there against people who are probably not supporting women's football and tell them you need more money. That, in itself, takes a lot of guts. At that point, it wasn't easy to win people over.

I think every female footballer can relate to a woman working in a male-dominated area and championing it. We need to make sure that we support each other.

I don’t think we give kids enough respect for what they understand.
