Summary

In 2006-07, Arsenal Ladies achieved a unique quadruple- winning the Premier League, FA Cup, Premier League Cup and the European Cup. They remain the only British side in the women’s game to have won Europe’s top prize. In this episode we speak with then Gunners captain Faye White, who missed most of the season with a cruciate ligament injury. We talk to Faye about her mixed emotions watching an incredible season unfold from the treatment table. We also speak to Gunners legend and striker Kelly Smith, who returned to the club from the US after battling depression and alcoholism. Kelly enjoyed an excellent, injury free season- but missed both legs of the European Cup Final in controversial circumstances. Kelly talks candidly about her frustration with rough treatment from opponents and how that frustration built to cost her participation in the game of her life. Relive this historic season through the eyes of Arsenal Ladies’ most successful ever captain and all-time greatest player.

0:00.0	In the 2006 season, Arsenal ladies created history never to be surpassed in the women's
0:24.2	game.
0:25.2	They won the Women's Premier League, the FA Cup, the Women's Premier League Cup and the
0:29.3	UEFA Cup, now recognised as the Champions League.
0:33.1	Arsenal remained the only British club to win the European Cup. The girls defeated
0:37.5	Sweden's Sweden, who made a 1-0 in a 10-2-legged final, Alex Scott scoring the only goal from
0:42.7	range in the final minute of the first leg in Sweden.
0:46.5	Arsenal's overall record for the season saw them play 44 games, win 42 and draw twice
0:52.0	across all competitions. They even bagged the women's community shield and the London
0:56.4	County Women's FA Cup 2. Having won the league in five of the previous
1:01.0	six seasons prior to 2006-7, Arsenal went into the campaign as heavy favourites for another
1:06.8	league title. They had also won the FA Cup in 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2006.
1:14.6	With a team featuring the likes of Emma Burnin-Gol, Jane Ludlow, the club's record goal scorer
1:20.4	in midfield, Kelly Smith and Judy Fleeting up front, as well as up and coming talent
1:25.2	like Alex Scott, Anita Rosante, Karen Carney, Leanne Sanderson and Katie Chapman, the
1:30.6	cake has cited a perfect blend of youth experience and quality throughout the squad.
1:35.4	But as the old Queen song would have it, it was no better roses. Captain and centre-half
1:40.5	Bay White, by now halfway through her 10-year stint as England captain, tore her
1:45.1	anterior cruise ship ligament in the summer of 2006, ruling her out for most of the season.
1:51.6	Bay White is no stranger to pain. She played in the Euro 2009 final with a fractured
1:55.9	cheekbone. She broke her nose four times as a player and ruptured the cruise ship ligament
