She Kicks Goal Getter: Size the Moment (Amelia Size)

The Goal Getter slot goes this month to a goalkeeper. Amelia Size saved the first penalty of a shoot-out at the Dallas International Girls Cup and was then told by her manager that she was taking the fifth, which meant keeping Blackburn Rovers in it or winning the tournament outright. She had barely practised one. Her celebration was delayed because she did not immediately realise she had won it, and then she was at the bottom of the pile with players in tears and parents watching. She became a keeper eight years ago by putting her hand up when the incumbent got fed up, came through the club’s Regional Talent Club, and kept a clean sheet on her first-team debut.
