Kildunne says her World Cup winner's medal lives on her bedside at home, for fear she might misplace it.

“If I take it somewhere, I’m probably going to forget it,’ Kildunne, who has been shortlisted for the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award, said.

“That's part of my everyday life, losing things, I wouldn't even be able to list here. I’m currently using a car key with no house key on it, because

“T've lost my other car keys.

The house key’s in a lock box so I can’t lose that one. I've turned up to matches with two left boots, someone else’s boot.

“Fortunately enough, at games, we actually only have to remember our boots, you don’t have to remember your shirt or anything because I would probably lose that as well.

“But yeah, I'd lose my head if it wasn’t screwed on. (The ball) is the one thing that, when it’s in my hand, it's staying there.”
