Fran Kirby announced her retirement from international football on Tuesday .
The 31-year-old midfielder announced her decision an hour after England 's defeat by Spain .
Kirby enjoyed a successful 11-year England career, picking up 77 caps and a European championship winners medal along the way.
She will go down as one of England 's greatest servants and one of the most unique players we have ever seen.
