FAWSL Quick Kicks: Top Ten with Abby Dahlkemper (Manchester City)

The World Cup winner who joined Manchester City on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January takes the magazine’s ten-question slot, and slots into it as smoothly as she did into City’s defence. She describes herself as a passionate player who wants to help the team win any way possible, would run the side out to Eye of the Tiger, and watches football from any league she can find online. Volleyball is the sport she would turn professional in, the NBA Finals or a Super Bowl the dream ticket. Asked what she would have embroidered on her boots she offers a picture of her dog, or a line her mother gave her: she believed she could, so she did. She would spend a weekend off in Santorini, Greece or the south of France.
