166 caps is quite an innings

Whatever your opinion on women’s football, you cannot deny her commitment to her country has been outstanding.

 

[Arfur Ap Llewellyn Europe]

She has been outstanding for Cymru.

Fair play.

 

[Steve R]

Best Welsh International ever.

 

[LlanBlue86]

About 150 of those caps were earned playing in front of 10 people and five dogs in roath park.

Just adding a bit of context

Whatever your opinion on women’s football, you cannot deny that it’s fucking shit.

150 caps is outstanding tbf especially as presumably for a proportion of them she had to work around a proper job and for a fair chunk of it she'd have been travelling from abroad for home games. The commitment and love for country is clearly there and she was usually head and shoulders above her peers even as she was knocking on a bit.

Saying she is like the Welsh women's Bale is fair but it's tedious when people try to compare them as different games

Definitely woman’s football is always good for a laugh.
