As a lifelong Queens Park Rangers fan she said her celebration was inspired by Bobby Zamora, a former player for the club, who scored the last-minute winner against Derby in 2014 to earn QPR a promotion to the Premier League.
The QPR legend Zamora congratulated the Lioness calling her a ‘national hero’ and said he was ‘touched’ to have her speak his name on ‘such an amazing moment’.
Kelly replied: ‘As a QPR fan, you dream of moments like this.
‘To be at Wembley that day was special and now to experience it myself was amazing.’
Kelly has also thanked her older brothers for allowing her to play football with them from the age of seven in the cages.
