The world witnessed the historic win of England over Germany in the Euro 2022 final. The match attracted a record peak audience and fans are still not over the stunning victory. However, they were left heartbroken when striker Ellen White announced her retirement. The England women's all-time leading goal scorer noted that she had fulfilled her dream of becoming a European champion and now it is time for her to bid farewell to football after almost two decades. Her club, Manchester City also confirmed that she had retired from all forms of the game. In emotional social media post, she wrote, "This has been one of the hardest decisions of my life but one that I know is the right decision for me. This decision has always been one I have wanted to make on my terms. And this is my time to say goodbye to football and watch the next generation shine. It has been my greatest honour and privilege to play this game. In particular playing for England has and always will be the greatest gift. My dreams came true on July 31, winning the Euros and becoming a European champion." She added, "I have been very lucky to have played for a number of teams in my career. It has been a huge honour to have represented some of the biggest clubs in England and to have worn the shirt and created some unbelievable memories." Her post soon went viral on the internet. Throughout her career, White is regarded as one of the most reliable strikers of her generation. She played for a number of teams throughout her career that includes Chelsea, Arsenal, Notts County, Birmingham City and Manchester City. The Lioness helped her team end England's 56-year wait for a major trophy after they beat Germany in front of a record crowd at the UEFA Women's Euro 2022. As she hangs up her boots, let us take a look at the pictures that capture her glittering career.
