Ilknur Aygün

This Turkish superstar lights up the pitch with intoxicating dribbling and electric speed, though her disastrous footwork outside the box often leaves everyone baffled. To maintain her confidence, she refuses to tie her laces until a teammate tells her a joke about cats, an absurd superstition the rest of the squad has learned to tolerate with resignation. She is an unstoppable force in front of goal who plays with a theatrical boldness that is hard to match.
