Jill Louise Scott MBE (born 2 February 1987) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. [3] The FIFA technical report into the 2011 Women's World Cup described Scott as one of England's four outstanding players; "[an] energetic, ball-winning midfielder who organises the team well, works hard at both ends of the pitch and can change her team's angle of attack." [4]

Contents

At 5 feet 11 inches (1.81 m), Scott is nicknamed "Crouchy" after male international footballer Peter Crouch, who towers over his fellow players to a similar degree. [5] [6] After leaving hometown club Sunderland for Everton in 2006, she contributed to the Blues' FA Women's Premier League Cup win in 2008 and FA Women's Cup victory in 2010. With Manchester City, she won the FA WSL in 2016 and is a three-time winner of the FA Women's Cup and the FA WSL Cup. On the individual level, Scott was voted 2008 FA Players' Player of the Year and 2011 FA International Player of the Year.

Following her retirement from football in 2022, Scott went on to win the twenty-second series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and was crowned "Queen of the Jungle". [7] [8]

Early life

Scott grew up in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, and attended Monkwearmouth Comprehensive School. [9] [10] A keen long-distance runner, Scott ran for Sunderland Harriers, winning the North of England Under-13 cross-country title and the Junior Great North Run, [11] whilst playing football for Boldon CA girls' team. At the age of 13, she had to decide between football or running, and chose to concentrate on playing football.[ citation needed ] Future England teammates Steph Houghton and Demi Stokes also played for Boldon; [12] as part of the "Where Greatness Is Made" campaign, plaques honouring Stokes and Scott were installed at the club in 2022. [13]

After leaving school in 2003, Scott received a BTEC National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science at Gateshead College. She remained at the college to study for a University of Sunderland foundation degree in sports and exercise development. She also played for the college football team alongside fellow Sunderland and international teammate Carly Telford. [11] After completing her diploma, both Scott and Telford enrolled at Loughborough University to study sport.

Club career

Sunderland

Scott began her senior career with Sunderland Women. [14] In October 2005, aged only 18 years, she won the Women's Player of the Month award for September, based on her performances for both her club and country (at under-19 level). [15]

Everton

Scott joined Everton Ladies in July 2006, [16] having turned down an approach from Doncaster Rovers Belles. [17] Her first game for Everton came the following month, a 3–0 defeat against Arsenal Ladies in the FA Women's Community Shield. [18]

At the end of the 2007–08 season, she picked up the FA Tesco Players' Player of the Year award. Also nominated were Arsenal's Alex Scott and Karen Carney. [19] In April 2012, Scott was appointed as one of eight digital media ambassadors, one from each team, who wear their Twitter account name on their shirt sleeves to raise the profile of the WSL. [20] Scott decided to leave Everton at the end of the 2013 season. [21]
