Stacey Bird

After shattering her humerus while falling off a mountain bike, this humble Scottish playmaker transformed her rehabilitation into an obsessive quest to master the pitch with hypnotic close control and lethal long-range striking. While her frantic movement leaves defenders grasping at shadows, she often frustrates coaches by stubbornly refusing to pass when a glimpse of the goal presents itself. She remains an agile attacking genius who treats the ball like an extension of her own resolve.
