When Kelly scored the second goal against Switzerland in the 2011 World Cup play-off first leg she surpassed Karen Walker’s tally of 40 international goals to become the England Women’s all-time leading goalscorer.
And against Italy in March 2011, Smith donned the captain's armband to mark her 100th international appearance, becoming only the third player to reach that special milestone behind Gillian Coulthard and Rachel Yankey.
Kelly, who has rightfully earned plaudits from around the world for her performances for club and country, made her England debut as a Wembley Ladies player in 1995 and became the first English player to feature in America’s professional league. She had an exceptional World Cup in China in 2007 and scored five goals in qualifying for the 2011 World Cup.
