The former England forward Toni Duggan has retired from football at the age of 33, saying she is proud to have played a part in “changing the perception of women’s football in this country”.
Duggan, who won 79 caps and helped the Lionesses reach World Cup and European Championship semi-finals, said she had been driven by wanting to prove the women’s game’s quality. She started and finished at Everton and also played for Manchester City, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
