She Kicks, issue 53, April 2019 pp.60–61
Four young readers from the East Midlands and Hertfordshire. Twins Ellie and Paige Johnson, 12, play for Pleasley Stags Girls and support Manchester United; Ellie is a right-winger who wants to meet Paul Pogba, Paige a goalkeeper whose answer to describing herself in five words is best keeper ever, and both share a superstition about taking their bracelets off. Zara Grace Ferns, 9, plays right-midfield for Spurs Ladies Under-10s, names England netballer George Fisher among her heroes alongside her sisters Keira and Courtney, and loves nutmegging her coach. Isla Grace Landon Mills, 7, plays defender for Arnold Eagles, supports Forest and England, picks Fran Kirby and Harry Kane, and started playing after watching the Lionesses in Nottingham.
