Arsenal legend Alex Scott MBE is among the four latest stars inducted into the Women's Super League (WSL) Hall of Fame.
The Women's Professional Leagues and lead partner Barclays have announced the quartet of people to be added into the Hall of Fame. The inductees have been decided by a selection panel consisting of former players, coaches, officials and journalists.
An extremely well decorated career saw Scott lift 21 trophies with Arsenal across her 12-year tenure in north London, spread over three spells between 2002 and 2018. Gunners fans will always hold the beloved defender close to their hearts, after she scored the winning goal in the UEFA Women's Champions League (then UEFA Women's Cup) final in 2007.
The right-back also plied her trade stateside, playing for the Boston Breakers in the United States between 2009 and 2011, and for Birmingham City between 2004 and 2005. She won the 2012 WSL title, as well as five Women's Premier Leagues before the current began in 2011.
Scott made 140 appearances for England from her debut in 2004 until her final cap in 2017. The now 40-year-old has since gone on to make waves in football coverage, leading the BBC as a mainstay across their broadcasting of both the men's and women's games.
She continues to be a pioneer for women in sport, becoming the first female presenter to make an appearance on Sky Sports Super Sunday, and the first female commentator to present at a FIFA Men's World Cup. Scott plays a fundamental role in reminding women of both this generation and the next, that they have a place inside the world of football.
Each of the four WSL Hall of Fame inductees will be honoured at an official induction event in January 2025. Former England colleague Steph Houghton, ex-Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham United and Liverpool defender Gill Flaherty, and referee Rebecca Welch have also been inducted.
