Where Are They Now? — Sammy Britton

A catch-up with Sammy Britton, the dreadlocked, plain-talking South Yorkshire midfielder who played for England at the 1995 World Cup and Euro 2001 and won league and cup titles with Arsenal, across a career also taking in Huddersfield Town, Bronte, Cove Rangers, Croydon, Doncaster Belles, Everton twice, IBV in Iceland and Leeds United. She has lived in Tenerife for more than four years, teaching PE at Britannia School in Los Cristianos before spending two years caring for two older women. She misses the competitive side and a crunching tackle but not driving an hour to training on a cold winter night. She names being told after the 1995 World Cup that England could not go to the Olympics as a low point, and owns a house with Rachel Brown.
