I will have some time off, do some media works, and I think, for 17 years, I have given everything I could. Karen Carney Read Quote
I never looked at the bigger picture. I was just so passionate about football; I just wanted an opportunity to play with no barriers and no stigma. Karen Carney Read Quote

I’ve travelled the world with football, but probably in a privileged way. We’ve travelled, and travelling means going from an airport to the pitch to the hotel. I haven’t really seen or explored things. Karen Carney Read Quote

I looked at it, and it was like, ‘Can I push and make the Olympic squad?’ It is tough going from 18 players, including Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. I thought that might be a push too far for me. I had no Champions League with Chelsea. I lost my motivation. Karen Carney Read Quote
When you have given all you can and no more, then you should just stop. I am an all-in type of person, so I will enjoy rest and family time. Karen Carney Read Quote
