Jill Scott is the most experienced member of the England Lionesses squad for the 2022 European Championships. Going into the home tournament, Scott accumulated a whopping 158 international caps throughout a decade and a half at the top of women’s football, adding a further appearance in the Lionesses’ record-breaking 8-0 thrashing against Norway on Monday.
Although she may no longer be one of the first names on the team sheet, her experience at major tournaments could prove invaluable. Scott now has Fara Williams’ record haul of 172 caps firmly in her sights, and played a pivotal role in the promotion and growing popularity of women’s football in the 21st century.
The midfielder has also built up an illustrious club career, making over 100 appearances for both Everton and Manchester City. Becoming known as a player of the big occasion, Scott has many highlights on the grand occasion, and will hope there’s still time left to create many more special memories.
