Little Kicks: Readers’ Photos With Their Favourite Players

The readers’ page prints photographs sent in by parents of children meeting their favourite players, and it doubles as a record of how accessible the women’s game was in 2019. Olivia Brack is pictured with Liverpool’s Leighanne Robe; Freya Vine with Chloe Brock-Taylor and Katy Thornley of the new Lincoln side; two readers with Jennifer Beattie, Kim Little and Jamie-Leigh Napier around Scotland’s Euro qualifier against Cyprus, one of them in tears at meeting her idol. Ellen White, Karen Bardsley and Jill Scott posed for post-match pictures at the Manchester derby, and Beth Mead is praised for always having time for supporters. The page closes with a joke at the expense of an Arsenal writer photographed with Danielle Carter and the WSL trophy.
