Shape I'm In: Goalie Emma Byrne talks married life and more

IRISH soccer goalkeeper Emma Byrne, 34, is enjoying married life but is still adjusting to her new surname: Bignot.

“But what makes it worse is that I am taller than him,” she jokes, knowing her husband is within earshot. “I’ve changed my name on Facebook and on my bank account, but in football terms I’m still a Byrne.”

Marcus Bignot is a retired professional football player — he used to play for QPR and Millwall — and now manager of Solihull Moors. “And an aul fella — he’s going to be 40 in August,” she adds. “ He’s a sugar daddy. A poor sugar daddy.”
