Ellen White Quotes

is a look back at her most interesting and controversial quotes about herself and other players.
On being called a veteran in women's football:
I’ve been called a veteran a few times already which is funny. I’m always like “woah, woah, woah”, there’s still plenty more of me to come. But, we do have a lot of young players coming through and there’s a lot of youth in the squad.
On the experiences of three World Cups:
The experiences at that World Cup are things I’ll never forget and winning a bronze at a World Cup is incredible. I have that medal hanging on my door as motivation. I can see it when I’m in bed because I look at it and think “I want a gold one”. It really does drive you and push you. I really want that gold medal. It’s the same for a lot of us, we will strive for as much as we can achieve but we know it’s going to be a tough tournament.
On the dramatic rise in media attention to women's football:
I think the level of exposure that has been given to women’s football and women’s sport in general really has been really positive. Not just across social platforms but in the broader media. BT, BBC, Channel 4 have all got on board with Women’s Football and have put it in the limelight and in doing so, made it very viewable for anyone to see. It means that people don’t have to hunt to find our sport now. It’s there for all to see and it’s accessible. (All the above quotes are from Ellen White interview with Soccerbible)
On her first goal for England national team:
“The goal felt like slow motion. It was an unbelievable pass by Lianne Sanderson and my family say it felt like 10 minutes waiting for it to go in. I did a big Klinsmann dive - it was crazy.
