She’s a legend.
Her husband has motor neurone disease, hope they enjoy their (more time) together
Well said lads.Yesh good luck to her and husband. Real shame she missed out on the euro glory after being a pioneer for the womens game.
I thought she was discarded by England way too early. She recovered from injury and should have been back in the squad.Yesh good luck to her and husband. Real shame she missed out on the euro glory after being a pioneer for the womens game.
I think ultimately she'll go into management.
Listened to her on Radio 5 the other week, her analysis of the game is excellent.
My only issue is how the media pronounce Houghton!
I worked with her mam for years and know she comes from a fantastic family.
Good luck to her.
Horton
The media started off calling her Howton, somebody must have pulled them on it and now they call her Hawton. f***ing hell it's not difficult to say Hoe Ton. Mind you these are the same people who say Sanderland and Noocarsool.I live in Westhoughton. It's pronounced Horton. not West-Howton. Although interestingly, one nickname for Westhoughton folks is "Howfeners".
Haughton near Darlo is also pronounced Horton.
I've never heard her called Steph "Howton".
All that aside, she lives not far from me I believe.
I hope she and her husband enjoy her retirement and they have many years together.
In time, it would be great if she was an ambassador for our club, but I suspect she'll stay at City.
