"For me, you never really get over that feeling of playing at a major tournament," Fran Kirby on never taking the biggest stage for granted

Fran Kirby of England indicates her name on the reverse of her jersey as she poses with the trophy following the UEFA Women's Euro England 2022 final match between England and Germany at Wembley Stadium on July 31, 2022 in London, England.

Fran Kirby announced her international retirement on Tuesday after she was told she would not be a part of the Lionesses team for the Euros this summer.

Kirby, who made her England debut in 2014, had plans to hang up her international boots after the major tournament but not being selected brought those forward.
