Hello there.

Welcome to the Women's Football Show.

Lots to pack in this week, as always, including we'll be hearing from some very big names. former England star, Sue Smith,

alongside me as she is every week.

Hello, Sue.

Hello, Jess.

I like that introduction. Thank you. I'll pay you later for that one.

Yeah, thank you. I expect a little payment off the back of that. Now, I mean, another busy week in the

women's game. Massive news. The game has lost a legend. Farah Williams has retired.

Can you believe it?

I mean, she's a player that has been synonymous with the women's game for over two decades.

And you've played with her, you've played against her.

She was a special talent, wasn't she?

Oh, an absolute unbelievable talent. And I think it just comes to a point maybe in

your career where your body just says enough is enough. And I think that's what's happened with

Fara. She's been a lot, she's been through a lot this season with her illness. And I think that's

taken a lot out of her.

And she just feels like the time is right now to do that.

You want to finish on the top.

You don't want to go on too long.

Maybe that was in a thought process.

But what an incredible career she's had.
