Lovely piece.

It’s so interesting to me, the lingering memories we (as fans) have vs you (as players)

You are so right about the marketability of certain players, and to some degree, that’s what helps them stay in our minds, but actually they don’t always end up being the players the players remember making their mark.

Recently Leah cited Demi Stokes as the underrated teammate of the team of ‘22, and yet I don’t think she played a minute.

I guess that’s the right way round though, whilst it would be nice to get the nations flowers, it probably seems more valuable when it comes from the truth inside the camp, not just what is seen on socials or on the pitch.
