Former SAFC Ladies star Beth Mead has thanked her nearest and dearest, as well as the wider world of football, for support given after the passing of her beloved mother.
The 27-year-old shared the shattering news on social media last week, confirming that her mum, June, had sadly passed away January 7 - following a "long and brave battle" with ovarian cancer.
Tributes and messages of support quickly followed, including a touching gesture from Arsenal FC, who took to social media to share a photo of the first team in their dressing room with a shirt that read 'Thinking of you Beth'.
