Meet The Citizens (Manchester City Squad Guide)

Continuing a She Kicks tradition, Manchester City’s squad is introduced by one of its own. Georgia Stanway, described in the 2017 version of this feature by Karen Bardsley as a future top talent, works through every teammate. Bardsley stops shots from nowhere and DJs on matchdays; Ellie Roebuck is a best friend she has to clean up after; Fran Stenson is a whispering giraffe. Demi Stokes squats 120 while looking like she is not trying, Steph Houghton gets one word, LEGEND, and Esme Morgan is Bambi on ice skates. Keira Walsh is the female De Bruyne, a line Stanway insists she was paid for, Caroline Weir could turn in a cardboard box, and Stanway’s own entry reads simply that she brings the laughs and needs to learn how to pass.
