I go home every day, and my mum still lives in the same house. It's not one of the most affluent areas of Liverpool - some may say it's deprived - but we have an abundance of love and support.

Me and fellow scouser Toni Duggan are a double act. We are always pre-planning some sort of practical joke.

I think about giving back every single day, about the people who put so much effort into supporting my mum and me.

You have to respect America for respecting the pioneers of the game. That's important. We do that a lot in our game in England. What they've done for women's football across the world is massive.

I do a bit of boxing in the off-season to stay fit - it's a different kind of fitness.

I think about giving back every single day, about the people who put so much effort into supporting my mum and me.

Football still gives me butterflies; it still makes me smile.

I'm always playing jokes, even on the manager - some, not many. I want to try and keep my place in the squad.

I still play a bit of tennis, but only a knockabout to help with my recovery after a game.
