Working-class footballers lost hundreds of millions to financial mis-selling, but the V11 group is still being pursued for tax on money they never had.

The Red Roses have broken their own world record for consecutive rugby games won, starting their streak at the 2023 Six Nations with an impressive aggregate score of 1,759-409.

I've been a professional for 15 years, that takes its toll. I think it's the right time for me to call it a day. I always thought I would go out on my own terms. Having knee trouble for the past few years has taken its toll. The feeling I have is one of immense pride.

England Women Under-23s secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sweden in the European Competition friendly finals, with goals from Isobel Goodwin, Hannah Silcock, and Olivia McLoughlin.

Jelena Dokic, who spent her whole career navigating painful moments, was abused by her father and suffered from depression and an eating disorder, contemplating suicide at her lowest points.

Amee-Leigh Costigan decided to have a scan four months ago - not because she was feeling sick or unwell. It was quite the opposite, in fact.

"I've never been out. I've never announced my retirement because it was always on my heart. I'm super excited to see where this goes and what comes of it."

"We've felt so much recognition, that was so nice. You can really feel the appreciation. "It's incredible. When I came here in 2021 I never expected it to be like this. It's been so special. To be so accepted here and the journey we've been on, to be an honourary dame, is hard to describe what an honour it is."

After more than a decade representing my country, I have decided to retire from international football. Playing for England has always been the biggest honour of my career and something I will always be proud of. Thank you to every teammate, coach, manager, the 12th man, and everyone behind the scenes who has been part of the journey.

Green worked closely with former manager Emma Hayes, helping her deliver five successive WSL titles and reach a first Women's Champions League final. He acted as interim manager in Hayes' absence in 2022 when she had emergency hysterectomy surgery, and has led recruitment across a number of successful transfer windows. Chelsea have won 19 trophies during Green's spell at the club,

Everything has an end and this is my end here at Chelsea. I still remember Emma [Hayes] called me six-and-a-half years ago, convinced me to join the club and I was terrified. Scared that I wasn't good enough, scared to move away from my family. Little did I know I was going to get a new family here because it has been all about the people and the ones that have been with me on this journey.

"I've achieved nearly everything I dreamed of in this sport and gave all I had to give." "I'm ready to embrace the life that awaits me on the other side. I look forward to spending more time with my family and being a more present mom. This was not a decision made lightly, but was one made with immense gratitude for everything I've experienced as a professional soccer player."

I'm just really looking forward to being in a tournament and not talking about my left calf. I've had a long journey from my ACL return, so I'm just honestly so excited, so grateful to be back here and just be playing football, enjoying training, enjoying all the things that come in, come with the team.

It's a huge honour to have been named captain of the Red Roses. Mitch and I have built a strong relationship over the past three years and it's a great feeling to have his trust to lead the group along with a tight leadership team.

We are heartbroken to hear that former England youth player Amy Carr has passed away aged 35. Amy, who was diagnosed with a second brain tumour in 2024, devoted her time to raising money for vital brain tumour research that could help others. She remains an inspiration to all.
