When I finished playing, I didn’t think I would be able to replace the buzz you feel at kick-off, but when the light on top of the camera turns red, and you’re about to go live to the nation, it is a very similar feeling. Alex Scott Read Quote
Being away with a national side at a tournament can be hard – you train, go back to your hotel, and often, you sit in your room, watching TV or speaking to people at home.

I was in charge of the music in every team I played for, and that is a huge responsibility, believe me! Alex Scott Read Quote

I want people – boys and girls – to be sat at home watching me alongside the likes of Rio Ferdinand or Frank Lampard, thinking that it’s normal, that we all know what we’re talking about, and that they’re not judging me at home just because I’m a female. Alex Scott Read Quote

I was an attacking full-back but was told by Hope Powell to just sit back when we played U.S.A. in the 2007 World Cup. It’s hard to rein yourself in, but the team comes first. Alex Scott Read Quote
I don’t like to make comparisons between former managers because they all bring a unique style. Alex Scott Read Quote
Most of my football education was under Hope Powell, and were some of her training sessions boring? Yes. But were they necessary? Yes. We fully understood what we needed to do as a defensive unit. Alex Scott Read Quote
When I was younger, my food and fitness were less controlled – I just loved football. Alex Scott Read Quote
