Born Kicking: Felicity Davies, age 8 (Welland Valley U10 Girls)

The Born Kicking slot meets Felicity Davies, an eight-year-old who plays for Welland Valley Under-10 Girls and supports Notts County Ladies. Known to team-mates as Flis, she likes to kick with both feet and favours midfield because she enjoys being in the middle of the action, especially tackling for the ball. Her favourite player is Jess Clarke, with whom she was lucky enough to be a mascot at Lincoln Ladies aged six, and her heroes are Clarke and her older sister Imogen, who is also her biggest fan. Her family describe her as a team player, enthusiastic, fearless and awesome. She recalls tackling an Under-12 player at least two feet taller than her in training, wears lucky football socks, and names watching the Women’s FA Cup Final at Wembley as her best football day.
