Meet the Blues (Chelsea squad guide by Gilly Flaherty)

Chelsea centre back Gilly Flaherty, a five-time cup winner with Arsenal, provides the inside track on every team-mate ahead of the club’s second FA Women’s Cup final. Hedvig Lindahl loves to ask questions, Marie Hourihan is a gentle giant and a massive statto, and Ana Borges seems to know only swear words in English. Claire Rafferty, known since they were twelve and a fellow ex-Millwall player, is the squad’s social representative and among the strongest mentally given her injury record. Millie Bright cannot take the weight off her passes, Eniola Aluko is one of a kind, and of Fran Kirby’s arrival Flaherty says she has never been so happy to see someone sign because it means she no longer has to mark her. Emma Hayes, she notes, fancies herself the Jose Mourinho of women’s football.
