Gunners captain has joined Fifpro’s new players’ council as she tries to give back to the game and influence what happens nextThe
Arsenal midfielder Kim Little is only 29 but is already thinking about her legacy. “As I’m getting older and have been in the game longer, I keep thinking about how I want to contribute and give back to the game,” says the playmaker.

Little still has plenty in her legs, the captain currently guiding Arsenal through four competitions, but she is one of the athletes to have joined Fifpro’s new players’ union, a global players’ council, with an eye to how she can make a broader impact on the game that has given her so much.
