Last year, Brooke Cochrane, captain of Newcastle United Women, was at an awards dinner when she saw a guest she wanted to buttonhole.
It was a Newcastle United Foundation awards night and Cochrane was there to present an award. Also there was one of Newcastle United's new owners: Amanda Staveley.
Staveley had already mentioned the women's team in the media, so Cochrane, knowing that shy bairns get nowt, took the opportunity to do a bit of networking.
