[4] Jackson got an assist for the opening goal with a through ball to forward Cheryl McAdam. [5] Her victory in 1985 made her the first women to win the competition with three different clubs. [5]

Her fourth and final victory was achieved at Norwich who beat Doncaster Belles 4-3 at Carrow Road in 1986, with Jackson scoring Norwich's third goal. Her former Lowestoft teammates from the 1982 final Linda Curl, Vicky Johnson and Jackie Slack all played for Norwich that day under manager Maureen Martin.

[5] She later played for a ladies team in Milan [2] and then returned to England. In 1989 she was playing for Maidstone United. [9]

International career

Jackson made her international debut during the 1984 Mundialito tournament held in Italy, under England Manager Martin Reagan. Her first game was against Belgium at Stadio Armando Picchi in Jesolo which finished 1–1. [10] In total Jackson won 6 caps for England and was awarded legacy number 66 by England. [11] In 2022 England Football announced that all 227 women that had represented England since 1972 would be given an official cap with their legacy number written on it. The caps were awarded on 18 November 2022 which was symbolic as it marked the 50th anniversary of England Women's first ever international against Scotland. Kay Cossington the Football Association's Head of Women's Technical said "we hope they can reflect with pride on being part of a small group of women who have transformed football and made an everlasting impact on society".
