Great White (Faye White)

A career retrospective on the towering centre-half who took the England armband from Karen Walker as a 24-year-old in 2002 and kept it for a decade, assembled from several archive interviews including one by guest journalist and teammate Alex Scott. It records that she overcame two serious knee injuries, five broken noses and a fractured cheekbone. White describes captaining England at the 2007 World Cup as the proudest day of her career, the lasting hurt of missing a penalty in the 2011 quarter-final against France, and texting Casey Stoney on her appointment to warn how lonely the role can be. She explains playing on after Abby Wambach broke her nose, and how she approached each serious injury by pinning the rehabilitation programme to the kitchen cupboard.
