Heather O'Reilly reflects on superb career featuring 231 USA caps & three Olympic golds

Posted Nov 5, 2019
Heather O'Reilly: "There's certainly a feeling it's a turn of a new chapter. I've only known being a footballer. It's a little bit scary but I know I'm not going to be far away from the game. At the end, it wasn't really the matches at the weekend that I was getting pumped up for. It was the training sessions, being with the team, feeling the joy out on the pitch." (BBC)
