Faye White is to be one of ten former England players inducted in to the National Football Museum’s Hall of Fame this October.
John Barnes, Stuart Pearce and Gary Neville will be alongside White, the only female in this year’s inductees, when they are recognised in a special ceremony in Manchester.
White first made her international debut against Scotland in 1997 and went on to gain 90 caps for her country, scoring 11 goals in the process.
She was also made skipper in 2002 and captained the team in two European Championships and two World Cups.
White spent her domestic career at Arsenal Ladies where she was named Player of the Season shortly after her first England call-up.
She won over 30 trophies during her time with the Gunners – including 11 league titles, nine FA Cups, eight League Cups and one UEFA Cup – which led to her being awarded an MBE in 2006.
In April 2012 White announced she was retiring from international football after falling pregnant with her first child. She later also retired from the domestic game due to her struggle with ongoing knee injuries.
Only retired players are eligible for a place in the Hall of Fame. Nominees must also be over the age of 30 and have played or managed in England for at least five years.
White is now responsible for marketing at Arsenal Ladies and also has a coaching role at the University of Hertfordshire while studying for her UEFA B Licence coaching qualification.
