Liverpool singer-songwriter Chelcee Grimes has worked with some of the biggest names in show business, crafting music for the likes of Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue and Olly Murs.
However, on Sunday she'll be battling it out on a pitch in North Manchester in a bid to help Merseyrail Ladies advance past the FA Cup First Round for the first time in their history. Grimes' footballing journey began aged nine, when her grandad's quest to meet a Liverpool legend saw her inadvertently land a contract with her childhood club.
"I went to an Ian Rush soccer school because my grandad just wanted to meet him," Grimes told the ECHO, "I didn’t know who he was at the time but I was the only girl who turned up and it just so happened that where we trained was also where Liverpool Ladies trained and I got scouted and asked to come for a trial."
