Hope Powell's 15-year reign as head coach of the England women's football team has come to an end as the Football Association decides the time is right 'for a fresh outlook'.

As she celebrates her 90th Birthday Author Emma Smith talks about her memoir As Green As Grass and why her books have become popular again.
