Vanessa Bates

This Scottish fullback pairs imposing physicality with breathtaking verticality, though she occasionally struggles to temper her intensity during stand tackles. Her legendary grit was forged as a child when she famously scaled a seven-foot fence in one bound just to retrieve a stray ball. On the pitch, she is an unflinching defensive anchor, balancing a humble demeanor with a ferocity that leaves opposing wingers stranded.
