"I'm awful today. I don't care. Winning the treble, with this group of players, is so special. Everyone who knows me knows what kind of family I am and how much I love football, that's my whole life.
Her very moving interview continued, talking about her own family:
"You think about all the people who've helped you along the way and I see my family in the crowd, and it's so emotional."
