Louise Waller, England international footballer, on Screen One's 'Born Kicking': 'It showed a female player wanting to play in a men's team - but there's no way we want to play in men's football. This is what men generally think women want, and this programme followed that same chauvinist line. When the girl was on the ball, I thought: 'She can't even kick it', and it was odds-on that she'd sleep with one of the players or the chairman. It didn't do anything for women's football.'
