The She Kicks Locker Room: Car Quiz With Sophie Haywood

Part of Aston Villa’s promotion to the WSL in 2020 and now at Sheffield United with the same intention, Sophie Haywood was back in the action after an ACL injury and had spent time as a Sky Sports studio pundit. Her first taxi driver was her dad, with whom she reckons she has visited every service station in England. She drives a Vauxhall Astra, as yet unnamed, though her old Corsa was Charlie; as a footballer it would be a James Milner type, reliable and full of miles. Boots that stink out the car, a ball, a pump, cones and headphones are always aboard, and ten to twelve hours a week are spent singing at the top of her lungs or listening to podcasts. The Humber Bridge means home.
