LEAH WILLIAMSON urged Arsenal to keep on winning silverware after fans' raucous celebrations of their Champions League triumph.
Like fellow club icons Tony Adams and Thierry Henry, the Gunners star wants to be remembered for major trophies wins as well as loyalty to the team.
Williamson, who broke down in tears after her side’s Champions League final defeat of Barcelona, joined team-mates for a public celebration of their triumph at the Emirates today.
The centre-back put in one of her best performances of her career as Spain’s club football queens were shut out during Saturday's showdown in Lisbon.
Her efforts helped her side secure Arsenal’s second Women's Champions League trophy win following the club's first triumph in 2007.
And the lifelong Arsenal fan wants her legacy to be about loyalty combined with winning the biggest prizes with the Gunners.
Williamson said: "You have to win trophies and I'm so proud of what we do off the pitch, who we are, how we lead and how we carry ourselves.
"I'm so proud of that but I want to win and Arsenal should be winning.
"I've looked at that legacy all my life and I've been aware of that and I wanted to contribute to it.
"I don’t want to end my career just being loyal.
"Loyalty is great but loyalty with trophies is just something else.
"This week I've spoken to Tony Adams and Thierry Henry, people I watched (when I was young).
"They were incredible and they won and that's why they are remembered the way they are.
"I'm proud that we're the only team in the land (to have won the Women’s Champions League).
"Anybody that's Arsenal - red and white - is going to have a summer to remember."
This morning thousands of fans flocked outside the Armoury in front of the stadium as Williamson and her team-mates held their European trophy aloft.

After a mix of lighthearted and moving short speeches delivered by several players and head coach Renee Slegers, Williamson shared her reflections on her team’s success.
And she paid a touching tribute to skipper Kim Little, who is currently the team’s long-serving player having made more than 300 appearances.
Williamson added: "If you look at this celebration today, the turnout and what we've done over the last couple of years, this is the stuff that makes you stay.
"(After our win) I dropped to my knees because of the tears and then I went to look for Kim. We were just sobbing.
"Kim Little is everything I would want to be as a person.
"I'm just glad (for her) because you don't get recognised sometimes and that’s unjust.
"You need to win trophies and to win the biggest things to get what you deserve. Kim deserves everything.
"People had the game of their lives and I genuinely don't know if anyone (on the team) that put a foot wrong in terms of the game plan and what it was meant to be."
