Early life

[edit]

[My mum] used to tell a story about taking me to the doctors for a couple of tests. The doctor threw a tennis ball to see how I would react. I think I was supposed to just catch it, but I kicked it straight back to him. I was three years old. My mum just went, "O.K., ... I thinks she wants to be a footballer."

Fran Kirby[8]

Born and raised inReading with her brother Jamie and parents Denise and Steve,[9] Kirby began playing football as a young girl after watching her brother play. She would play any chance she got: at school, in the street, in the front garden.[10] At a early age, her mother, Denise, wrote in abirthday card that Fran would play in a World Cup one day: she was her biggest supporter.[9]

Kirby attendedCaversham Park Primary School andChiltern Edge, Sonning Common where she played against boys.[11][12] As part of the "Where Greatness Is Made" campaign, a plaque honouring Kirby was installed at local club Caversham Trents.[13] At age 7, she joined Reading's academy and made her senior debut at 16.[14]

Club career

[edit]

Reading, 2012–15

[edit]

Kirby joined her hometown clubReading at the age of seven and worked her way through the youth teams. She made her debut for the first team at the age of 16 but quit football the following year after an onset of depression, brought about by the death of her mother.[15][16] Kirby returned to the club in 2012 and went on to become theFA Women's Premier League Southern Division's top scorer for the2012–13 season, with 32 goals in 21 appearances.[17]

With Reading promoted to the newly formedWomen's Super League 2 for 2014, Kirby helped the team achieve third place with 24 goals in 16 appearances.[18] She ended the season as the league's top goalscorer; netting four againstLondon Bees,[19] as well ashat-tricks againstDurham,Watford andDoncaster Rovers Belles.[20][21][22] Shortly after, she became the first female player to receive a professional contract from the club.[23] At the 2014 FA Women's Awards, Kirby was named the inaugural WSL2 Players' Player of the Year.[24]

Kirby continued her goalscoring form into the2015 WSL2 season, taking 11 goals in five league appearances for Reading, including all four goals in a 4–2 away win againstYeovil Town and five goals in a 7–0 win against London Bees.[25][26] Following the2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Reading accepted an undisclosed transfer fee from Chelsea and she completed a move in July 2015.[27] It was reported that the fee of between £40,000 and £60,000 constituted a British record, although Chelsea denied this was the case and Kirby was not aware of the figure.[28]

Chelsea, 2015–24

[edit]

At the2015 FA Women's Cup Final, staged atWembley Stadium for the first time, Kirby was acup-tied spectator for Chelsea's 1–0 win overNotts County.

She became the first WSL 2 player to be called up to thesenior squad, in June 2014 for theWorld Cup qualifiers againstBelarus andUkraine.[51] She was named on thesubstitutes' bench against Belarus but did not make an appearance. She made her senior international debut againstSweden in August 2014, getting the second goal in a 4–0friendly win atVictoria Park,Hartlepool.[52]

In May 2015, England managerMark Sampson named Kirby in his final squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, hosted in Canada.[53] She scored in England's 2–1 win overMexico[54] and was hailed "miniMessi" by Sampson.[54][36] Although Kirby was disappointed to be ruled out by injury from the quarter-finals onwards, England's eventual third-place finish left her with a positive overall impression of the tournament: "a fantastic experience and one I won't forget in a hurry."[55]

Sampson kept Kirby in the national team for theUEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying campaign. InEstonia on 21 September 2015 she scored twice in England's 8–0 win.[56][57] After "12 months of hell" caused by knee and ankle injuries, Kirby returned to England's line-up forUEFA Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.[58] In England's opening fixture against rivalsScotland,second striker Kirby's cleverdummy sentJodie Taylor through to score England's opening goal in a 6–0 rout.[59] In the next match Kirby and Taylor scored in a 2–0 win overSpain, which secured England's place in the quarter-final.[60] When England were thrashed 3–0 by thehosts in the semi-final, Kirby was rueful: "We had chances and could have had a few penalties. We are bitterly disappointed".[61]

On 6 October 2018, Kirby scored in England's 1–0 friendly win overBrazil atMeadow Lane. In post-match interviews England coachPhil Neville breathlessly proclaimed Kirby's superiority to six-time World Player of the YearMarta: "I'd take my No 10 over Brazil's No 10, that's for sure".[62]

Personal life

[edit]

While growing up, Kirby was very close to her mother Denise.[70] When Kirby was 14, Denise died suddenly from abrain haemorrhage.[9] Two years later, Kirby experienced a deepdepression,[9] and stated that she "just could not comprehend what had happened. And it stayed like that for many years."[71] Away with England U17, Kirby broke down because she "missed [her] mum". She returned home and dropped out of football. She later reflected that "I'd have days where I wouldn't get out of bed. Or I wouldn't go to college. I could get as far as the bus stop, then I'd just break down crying." One day, one of her friends invited her to play with her amateur team, where she found her love for football again.[72]

In October 2019, Kirby received thehonorary degree ofDoctor of Science (D.Sc.) from theUniversity of Winchester for her "achievements both on and off the field, in particular her work supporting mental health and wellbeing."[73]

In February 2020, Chelsea revealed Kirby had successfully recovered frompericarditis, a potentially career-ending illness.[36] Kirby had fallen ill in November 2019 and came close to retiring from the game as a result.[37]
