[Franny Ypres]

Absolute warrior.

One way or another she's been the face of City Women for a decade. A symbol of her sport's progression and increasing legitimacy in that time. A real trailblazer. When the profile of women's football has gone leaps and bounds in the decades to come they'll look back at people like Steph who laid the foundations of the professional game. Wish her all the best.

Central to everything MCWFC have achieved since getting into the FAWSL! She has to be part of the coaching set up next year.

Much as it would be great, she might have bigger things to worry about than football.

Indeed, but I think she has a substantial network of friends and family who would support her in anything she chose to do.

For sure but I get the feeling the door will be kept open for her if she decides to take some time away. She definitely has coaching chops.

I hope it is, and I hope she does, she will still need to earn a living.

Brilliant person and I wish her the very best, her husband and family too.
