They Kick: Chelsea Ladies’ Fans

Hannah Roberts, who runs the Chelsea Ladies’ Fans Twitter account and blog, takes the magazine’s recurring supporter slot. She praises a squad that improved from seventh to second in a single season and a mix of ages, nationalities and experience in which everyone is motivated, playing attacking football that is fun to watch. Balancing school and her own football commitments, she plans to attend every game in and around London through the summer and travelled as far as Notts County and Manchester City the previous season. She is identifiable by a Chelsea shirt, scarf, away-day flag and shorts whatever the weather. She would kick Toni Duggan for the goal that ended Chelsea’s title hopes, and gives her award to Eniola Aluko as the team’s driving force.
