  "account": "Tottenham midfielder Drew Spence feels very proud to become the Women's Super League all-time appearance record holder. The 34-year-old made her 217th appearance for the club in a recent match against Birmingham City. Spence surpassed ex-Chelsea captain Millie Bright and may become the only player at Tottenham to play every single WSL game this season. She told BBC Sport that becoming the record holder is not just a proud moment for her, but also for her family. It is a testament to her hard work and dedication throughout her career. Despite acknowledging her regrets in the past regarding her body preparation, Spence is now in the best shape of her life and attributes her success to better nutrition and recovery methods. Tottenham manager Martin Ho has praised Spence's resilience, adaptability and ability to make her body capable of withstanding the physical demands of the sport.",
