It was a thrill to represent @BigIssue in this London vs Homelessness match at Kingsmeadow (home of Chelsea FC Women). At 50, I thought I'd hung up my boots (they went to the charity shop in 2015). But I scored in a 7-3 victory! Now we all join forces to tackle rough sleeping…

Thanks to @BigIssue for the most personal interview ever, promoting #NeverLookAway the Margaret Moth Story!!
