Linda Elriani, long-time friend and England team-mate of Cassie
Jackman, sends this message on the yesterday's retirement news ...
 Only
one Cassie Jackman
Cassie is one of my best friends and it's so sad to see her
extremely successful squash career come to such a sudden end, due to
her re-occuring back troubles.
Cassie has been the leading English player of my generation by far
and most women aspire to be even half the player and professional
she is. Her MBE earlier this year is a testament to that.
Cassie will be hugely missed by all the WISPA players, squash
supporters and organisers alike and definitely not just for her
great squash. She has been a fantastic ambassador, a supportive and
patriotic team mate.
Also for me she's a true and loyal friend (who has a great love for
animals and Norwich City Football Club!) and she has a quick wit
that can have me bent over laughing ! I have some incredible
memories from over the years that I'll treasure.
I'm sure all the WISPA players wish her the very best for her future
away from competitive squash. Maybe some lucky youngsters will
benefit from Cassie's knowledge and experience in the future.
One thing's for sure ...
there's only one Cassie Jackman.
