00:00 If I know that I've left this game in a better place,
00:03 then, to me, I know I've done half of my job.
00:05 I always think, like, you can always give some of yourself
00:09 to somebody else.
00:10 All I've known is football and...
00:28 and I've been grateful enough to be here
00:31 and another few amazing clubs that have helped me along the way,
00:35 and I've had so many great memories,
00:37 but I think they always say, "You like to know when you know,"
00:40 and I think that was that moment where I was like, "Right, OK."
00:43 I think, for me personally and for my family,
00:45 it was just to kind of get out there and then enjoy the last few months.

00:51 What an incredible career.
01:11 Someone who's been a leader for the club, for country,
01:16 for a long time.
01:17 Done a lot in all of her clubs, you know,
01:21 from Sunderland to Arsenal to Manchester City.
01:25 I hope someone like her stays in the game.
01:29 Ultimately, you kind of want to drop the mic and lift the trophy
01:42 and whatever.
01:43 My focus now is to do whatever I can
01:46 to ensure that I know that once I do stop playing,
01:50 that I've given everything in terms of commitment
01:52 and I've given everything of me to other people
01:55 to support them in whatever way they do,
01:57 and ideally, that'll be the best scenario,
02:00 but it's a long way to go.
