Born Kicking: Zoe Parsons and Hattie Marshall (age 10)

She Kicks, issue SK20, April 2014 p.49

The Born Kicking slot features two ten-year-olds. Zoe Parsons plays for Charlton Athletic Girls Under-10s, supports Tottenham Hotspur and likes centre midfield because she gets the ball a lot. She would meet Gareth Bale, would play alongside Charlton’s Kit Graham, wants a pink and sparkly shirt, and recalls being given a referee’s book for her birthday and red-carding her team-mates. Hattie Marshall is at the Brighton and Hove Albion Girls Centre of Excellence Under-11s and has always supported Portsmouth, choosing royal blue because that is the colour Pompey play in. Right-footed but still practising with her left, she favours central midfield, would meet Cristiano Ronaldo and pick Iker Casillas as a team-mate, names her coaches Mel and Curt as her heroes, and rates the phone call offering her a Brighton contract as the best thing to happen to her.
