00:00The former England star Rodney Marsh thinks women do have a place in football.
00:04It's making the tea at half time.
00:06To hear and see that I think it brings up a lot of frustration but it brings up a lot of pride of how resilient you know them women were to get us to where we are today.
00:15I started off playing for a boys team, got laughed at weakly, walking onto the pitch.
00:20Mostly actually more from parents and some of the boys I was playing against thinking about now is pretty, pretty awful.
00:28To the girl that got laughed at when she was trying to play football to now on the brink of another Euros final, what would you say to that girl back then about how far you've come?
00:38Well done, credit to the person that you are.
00:41It's not been an easy journey.
00:43You shouldn't have had to take the things that had been given to you at the time, whether that be verbally or however it may be.
00:51But you've helped change the women's game for the better and be proud of that.
00:56Kaz, you're watching along and I was looking at you because you've also been that little girl, haven't you?
01:02Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I'm quite emotional. I find that quite triggering for me, if I'm being brutally honest.
01:07And I'm glad you mentioned all those numbers because there is a little girl and also a little boy that now knows that there is a place for everybody to play football.
