England survived a scare to make it to Euro 2009, thanks to Kelly Smith’s equaliser 13 minutes from time. The draw also consigns Spain to a two-legged play-off against the Netherlands.
Kelly Smith has been playing for the Arsenal Ladies (otherwise known as The Club That Won Pretty Much Everything in Women’s Club Football, Ever) as a striker since 2004, and received her first cap for the England national team at the age of 16.
Below the jump is Kelly Smith’s brief appearance in Jonothan Ross’ show in 2007. In hindsight, it could’ve been much worse.
