Hellen Wairimu

The reserved Kenyan fullback transforms into an unstoppable force of speed and brute strength on the pitch, despite consistently struggling with her aerial timing. She refuses to play without carrying an unpeeled clove of garlic in each sock, a bizarre ritual that leaves her giggling teammates keeping a safe distance in the dressing room. Her uncompromising aggression and pace make her a nightmare to face for any opposing winger.
