Gina Michaelas arrived at Chelsea Football Club aged just 11-years-old. Her time at the club coincided with legends like Fara Williams and Siobhan Chamberlain.

Gina began playing in tournaments with the first team aged just 14, and made her "official" debut aged 16 in 2001.

Sadly, in March 2002 she suffered an ACL injury, but having made her comeback in the December that year, her career seemed to be getting back on track.

However, during a tour to Dubai, paid for by Chelsea's sponsor at the time Fly Emirates, a second ACL, just one-year since the first, this time to the other leg, which ended her career.

Gina speaks openly about her time at the club, how her injuries affected her and her life after football.
