Alex Scott is no stranger to success. From her days as a professional footballer at Arsenal and on the English national team, to representing Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, Scott has got plenty of accolades under her belt.

In fact, since she retired from professional football in 2017, Scott’s career has continued to go from strength to strength, with the former Lioness making history as the first woman football pundit at a World Cup for the BBC back in 2018, and as the first woman pundit on Sky Sports later that year.
