Scott: Kelly Smith was a pioneer of women's football

As England women's record goal-scorer Kelly Smith retires from football, team-mate Alex Scott explains the impact she had on the game.

Smith became Britain's first female professional when she joined American side New Jersey in 1999 and scored 46 times in 117 games for England.

Scott says Smith was and is, "the poster-girl of women's football".
