Yankey: Cup final can inspire the next generation of girls
Football Association giving free tickets to under-16s

ARSENAL legend Rachel Yankey is hoping for an attacking final today to inspire the next generation of girls to pursue a career in football.

Yankey, who won the FA Women’s Cup nine times, will not feature for Arsenal today as she is currently on loan at Notts County but is expecting a flurry of goals at Wembley.

The Football Association has offered free tickets to under-16s this afternoon and Yankey, who spends a lot of time working with kids in north London, hopes that those in the stands are inspired to follow in the paths of those on the pitch.
